Our 2007 vintage Petite Sirah is an inky, dark, fruit-forward wine with aromas of kirsch, blackberry, smoked game meat, dried violets and vanilla bean; on the palate, there’s a wonderful balance of integrated, firm tannins and crisp acidity with a soft, spicy and lingering finish. The blend is 93% Petite Sirah, 5% Charbono and 2% Carignane.
The vineyard sources for our 2007 Petite Sirah are: Godward Vineyard, Julianna Vineyard and Capp Vineyard. These vineyards contain mature vines, with the Godward vines being 100+ years old. The climate and soil types at each vineyard location are ideal for Petite Sirah viticulture.

Winemaker Notes:
|
The grapes were hand-sorted and crushed to stainless steel fermentors.
Pumpovers were done as gently as possible to avoid undesirable harsh tannin
extraction. Pressed at dryness to 75% French and 25% American oak with a
composition of 30% new oak for both barrel types.

Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 2009 - 93 Points
"This is a big, potent, Incredible Hunk of a wine. It’s gigantic in wild, exotic
blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, pomegranate, licorice, pepper and dark
chocolate flavors, wrapped into firm tannins. Continues a near-perfect streak of
ageworthy, dry Petite Sirahs from Girard."
Restaurant Wine, Issue #130 2007 - 4 Stars
"Full bodied and supple, this is an intensely flavored Petite Sirah, with blackberry,
toast, cedar, and black licorice aromas/flavors. Long, lightly tannic finish."
