Girard Petite Sirah 2016

The fruit for this Petite Sirah was sourced from old-vine plantings in Calistoga and Pope Valley areas of the Napa Valley, where a myriad of soil types coupled with warmer temperatures help the grapes develop balance and complexity.

The nose opens with aromas of coffee, jasmine and bramble fruit with a savory hint of smoke. The palate is laden with jammy blackberry and fig preserve flavors spiced up with white pepper, clove and cinnamon. The tannins are bold, ripe and integrated, creating a lingering and mouth-coating finish.
