DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A robust, full-bodied red blend, dripping with dark, ripe fruit flavors of briary blackberries, juicy plums, and black currants.With fruit hailing from three sub-appellations of Sonoma: Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, and Knights Valley,Syrah is the backbone of this blend. The remainder is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Petite Sirah. Each varietal adds its own unique characteristics. Cabernet Sauvignon gives this blend density and longevity, with Cabernet Franc adding floral notes and spice characteristics, Petit Verdot lending weight and earthy minerals, and Petite Sirah adding a meaty, peppery nuance. Selected lots were aged in a combination of French and American oak for 15 months, with the blended wine aged for 12 months. The coffee-mocha-espresso tone is a result of the American oak.Pitagora is a robust, full-bodied blend, highlighted with ripe fruit flavors of briary blackberries, juicy plums, and black currants, enlivened by toasted oak, earthy notes, and fragrant spice nuances. There is a rich entry on the palate and a generous tannin structure that frames the fruit. While this wine has weight and intensity, it also has a light creamy element on the finish, creating good texture for this highly expressive wine.
