2018 Kubani “My Flirtation” Petite Sirah Napa Valley

For the Petite Sirah, we sourced grapes from one of the oldest and most respected vineyards in Napa Valley. Originally planted in the 19th century, these particular vines are nearly 90 years old, producing the fruit of wonderful concentration and balance. The 2018 vintage was the best we have seen in nearly twenty years. With a perfect growing season and temperate fall, we were able to pick when the fruit, tannin, acid, and sugars were perfect. The grapes came into the winery where they were fully destemmed and allowed to ferment for 22 days in a tank. When the fermentation was complete, we gently pressed the grapes and filled our French oak barrels, some new, some older. The wine was then given extended aging with very little intervention. After forty months we racked the wine off any sediment and bottled it without filtration.
Cheers from Kubani wines!
