Our Red Blend is completely approachable and without any pretense. Aromas of ripe fruit, hickory smoke and blackberry jam make a glass of our Red Blend stand out as a wine you’ll enjoy throughout the year. Moderate tannins round out the structure and through the finish making it a perfect pairing for most meat dishes or on its own. -Chris Nickolopoulos and Elijah Pfister, negociants.
Vintage: 2012 Proprietary Name: Old Vines - The Ransom Composition: 100% Petite Sirah Appellation: Lodi District Average Vines Age: 50 + years old Aging: 9 months (one year old French Alliers & Troncais oak) Alcohol: 13.5% Our Seven Sinners is a Petite Sirah from the Lodi District, an area with a rich and distinctive history for old vines. Luckily enough for us we stumbled upon a family who have been growing rich, dense and intense Petite Sirah grapes for over 50 years. This vintage shows velvety textures upfront followed by deep rich flavors of blackberry jam, blueberry and spice, resulting in a long deep concentrated finish. Opulent and concentrated, while maintaining a food friendly balance, this wine is showing beautifully right now and will continue to age gracefully for the next 7 –10 years
