Winemaker Notes
Above St. Helena on the north eastern ridge of Napa Valley, the Petite Syrah from Rattlesnake Ridge Vineyard is another fantastic expression of Howell Mountain. Dark, powerful, inky, funky; this sun-drenched but cool & windy site brings out the best characteristics of Petite Syrah.

Wine Spectator
Bright, vivid and extremely aromatic, with lavender, white pepper and cinnamon notes up front, backed by a core of huckleberry, blackberry and blueberry flavors. The fleshy tannins have a rustic appeal, but never get in the way of the details on the long finish, accented by mineral, toasted herb and black tea elements. Drink now through 2030.
