Lamorinda Red

St. Romedius

This co-planted field blend and harvested at once for a beautiful terroir wine with a specificity of site that supersedes it's varietal composition. Based on yields and vintage, Robert estimates the blend is something like 45-65% Petite Sirah, 30-40% Syrah, and 5-10% Zinfandel. A deep purple, rich, savoury brawler with a world of dark fruit and dried flowers on the nose. A powerful entry with a rich structure and ripe fruit on the palate. Juicy and chewy through the finish with lingering fruit flavors... Blackberry and blueberry preserves, cracked black pepper, cloves, bittersweet chocolate, anise. Embrace your inner Californian and lay up with this teeth-staining, gnarly red.
