The nose is intensely aromatic, opening with blue fruit, leather, liquorice, lavender, menthol, and a subtle earthy, gravelly edge.\n\nThe palate is broad and powerful, yet carefully controlled, with the aromatic notes carrying through in a layered and cohesive way. It has the dense, mouth-filling structure Petite Sirah is known for, balanced by freshness and savory nuance. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, and it should evolve beautifully over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the Lytton Springs vineyard in Sonoma County, a site with deep historic roots and plantings dating back to 1901. The vineyard is farmed sustainably, and the fruit is destemmed before fermentation. Ridge uses whole berries and gentle pump-overs to extract only what is needed from the skins, preserving purity and balance. After fermentation, the wine matures for 16 months in American oak barrels, 15% of them new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Petite Sirah is a natural partner for grilled or roasted meats, barbecue, lamb, short ribs, and rich mushroom dishes.
