We have been contracting fruit from Farmhouse Vineyards for a number of years, although it is a more recent planting in the last 7 years or so. We have found we consistently love the Petite Sirah coming out of this site. It is velvety and smooth, with lovely blueberry cobbler notes and it is a dream in new oak or neutral. We often find ourselves blending with this lot, as a little bit can do a lot to round the mouthfeel of a blend.

This is the second time we’ve released Farmhouse Petite Sirah on it’s own. We wish we had more of it to share with a larger audience but there isn’t quite enough planted in Texas. So we decided to plant some ourselves in the estate and we look forward to that coming of age in the next couple of years.
