The philosophy of the Napa Wine Company winemaking program is - let the vineyard do the talking. We strive to allow the varietal character of the fruit to express itself with minimal guidance. The deep rich garnet color that the Petite Sirah varietal is known for carries through in this wine with concentrated fruit flavors reminiscent of plums, cherries and blackberries. The intense tannins typically associated with Petite Sirah are managed during fermentation to give a rich, round finish.
