Despite continued drought, the vines carried a large crop. Warm summer weather fully ripened the grapes for a mid-September harvest. Submerged-cap fermentation provided excellent tannin extraction. Three parcels, containing a mix of zinfandel and petite sirah vines planted in clay sub-soil, were combined. The wine aged for fifteen months in two- and four-year-old american oak barrels. Appealing now, it will be enjoyable over the next five to six years.
