This wine was primarily sourced from the Arroyo Seco Canyon and the Pacific Valley vineyards in Monterey County. Sheltered from the fast-moving winds blown in from Monterey Bay, the Petite Sirah grapes are grown in these vineyards develop peak ripeness and extraordinarily dark skins, leading to the wine’s vibrant color, firm tannins and sumptuous aromatics of dark fruit and spice.
