Blending Trials
Chris and I spent most of the afternoon in the winery sampling the ’05s that we’re going to be bottling and deciding upon our final blends. We’ll be introducing two new wines - ‘Duo’, a blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah, and our varietal offering of Petite Sirah from Herzog Vineyard in Clarksburg. The Petite is a mouthful of wine, so the Duo ends up as a 80/20 blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah. If you’re a Petite Sirah fan, watch out - ours is going to be a blue-tooth wine for sure. HUGE fruit with enough tannin structure and acidity to carry the wine for years.
