HISTORY

Planted adjacent to the Estate Zinfandel, this Petite Syrah is also certified organic.  The area used to be Wappo Indian grounds and obsidian arrowheads are commonplace in the rocky volcanic soils. The wines are classic Napa Valley Petite Syrah: dark and brooding on the nose, bright and vibrant on the palate.
