Tehama County, Central Valley, California, USA
I have a soft spot for this family-owned producer from Little known AVA in Tahama County, Northern California. Fine tannins, all fruit at this point-pleasant to drink and of course reasonably priced. 100% Petite Sirah from a low-yielding, higher altitude vineyard @ 2500 feet on the west slopes of Mount Lassen, the southernmost volcano in the Cascade mountains range. 14.4% abv

Black cherry, cocoa, smooth mellow tannins. Not your typical overblown Petit Syrah.

Blown-up blueberries and fat black olives. Deep dark California volcano roots.

Beautiful dense opaque wine. Not overblown at all - restrained fruit with a dusting of cocoa. Silky tannins now. You need to discover these wines!!
