Tor Kenward Family Wines Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard Old Vine Napa Valley 750 ML

At TOR, vineyards are the heart and soul of what makes wine so fascinating, absorbing, and challenging. It gives us a rush each year to work with the extraordinary vineyards in our portfolio. We feel very lucky and grateful for our vineyard partners—Beckstoffer To Kalon, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, Tierra Roja, Melanson, Hyde, and Beresini.The 2018 Petite Sirah shows itself to be a different level of a beast just based on the intensely black color that it presents in the glass. This also shows the classic Petite Sirah profile of loads of black fruits, smoked meats and dark spices. Despite its size this one is actually a little bit more approachable right now than the 17. Though still a 25+ year wine, a pop and pour on this works very well.
