Graziano's Petite Sirah comes from a combination of old vine vineyards and new high tech vineyards scattered throughout the benchlands and hillsides of Mendocino County. The wine was aged in a combination of French, American and Eastern European oak barrels (20% new) for 36 months that soften the tannins and added complexity to wine. This wine offers deep aromas and delicious flavors of ripe blackberries, violets, chocolate, toasty vanilla, tar and spice. Untypical of many of today’s Petite Sirahs, this wine is round, smooth and displays rich tannins that leads to long, lingering finish.
