2015 Langtry Serpentine Meadow Petite Sirah, Guenoc Valley AVA
Winemaker Notes
Our 2015 Serpentine Meadow Petite Sirah opens with decadent
aromas of cranberry, blackberry fruit, clove and pepper spices on
the nose. The mouth boasts similar flavors that entice the senses
with cranberry, cherry and plum at the forefront and a hint of
leather balanced by smooth, silky tannins. Notes of sweet tobacco,
vanilla and spices linger on the finish.

Production Notes
This five acre block takes its name from solidified magma, high
in magnesium content, fractured to form the devigorating soils
found here. Long a source of remarkable Petite Sirah, this
moderately dense planting creates small vines, clusters and
berries that are deeply hued and offer lovely blackberry flavors,
unusually polished tannins and exquisite balance.

Only 205 cases produced
