Our 2015 “Bea's Knees” is 100% Petite Sirah from the Oberti Vineyard in Suisun Valley, sustainably farmed with minimal inputs by Gary Mangels. Petite Sirah thrives in Suisun Valley under Gary's capable care. This is a massive, dense, almost chewy, big red wine (well, bordering on black, actually). The wine is redolent of blackberries and dark chocolate. It is juicy and lush on the palate with a huge structure that will keep this wine tasting great for days on your counter (if you can stay away from it), and for decades in your cellar. We harvested 3.7 tons on September 10 at 25.7 Brix, pH 3.65 and 6.0 g/L titratable acidity. The wine matured in neutral barrels for 20 months. The finished wine is 14.8 % alcohol, 5.9 g/L titratable acidity and has a pH of 3.65.
