Description:
This is the first vintage of the Nova Vineyard Petite Sirah. The vineyard is located in Yolo County, in the Dunnigan Hills appellation. Never before have we made a Petite Sirah that was ready so young! After numerous barrel samples, we decided this wine was too good to leave in the barrel and should be drunk now!
It has a delightful nose, ripe flavors and an inky color. Big, bold, and smooth as silk. Wonderfully balanced with soft tannins. Delicious!
Two tons of ripe fruit were harvested on August 20 at 25° brix. The grapes were put through the destemmer into several small fermentation tanks and Bordeaux yeast was added immediately. After 10 days, the must was pressed and the wine put into American oak barrels for 12 months.
