Tasting Notes

A touch of violet on the nose gives way to black currant with a hint of licorice. On the palette we are tasting blackberries and plums with just a touch of dark chocolate. This wine is well integrated, has nice acidity and good structure. It will age very well, if you can wait that long!

Vineyard Notes

When our Grey Palm Estate vineyard was planted in 2000, it was primarily destined to be a Zinfandel wine source but, in the traditional Italian method so common in our region, a small block, only 1.1 acres, was planted in Petite Sirah. This was most often done to provide a blending grape to add texture and color to the Zinfandel wines. We at Cast Estate decided instead to make a small production batch of Petite Sirah, and we are so happy we did!
