Like the 2001 & 2002, our 2003 Petite Sirah hails from an exceptional one acre block of Bill and Trish Naylor's Petite Sirah vineyard, at 2,700 ft. elevation right here in Fair Play. At 25-30 years old, these vines are some of the oldest in Fair Play. The steep, one acre vineyard block that is ours exclusively has a sunny southwest exposure, is naturally low yielding (2 tons/acre in 2003), and delivers wonderfully ripened grapes.

Vineyard: Naylor Vineyard, in Fair Play, El Dorado, at 2700 ft. elevation

14.7 % alcohol

Tasting Note: The 2003 shouts Petite Sirah! Aromas of blackberry, anise, black pepper and wood smoke leap from the glass, followed by sweet blackberry and milk chocolate flavors, with nice texture backed by balancing acidity and, of course, loads of inky color and plenty of soft tannin.
