Sourced from Kenefick Ranch, Calistoga, this Petite Sirah leaves a lasting impression. The color is profoundly dark, nearly jet black, and the nose leaves a hint as to the muscle that drives this wine: Black and jammy tones rise from the bouquet as this dark expression streaks the inside of the glass. On the palate, the entry is full-bodied and leads to notes of currant, plum, coffee and even a hint of burnt toast. The finish is long and lingering. Aged in 66% new French oak for 22 months, this is easily a 20-year keeper.
