Notes:

Petite Sirah is so rare in Washington that ANIMALE had to have these grapes planted. This third crop from the ANIMALE-planted 0.6-acre site near Sunnyside ripened fully while retaining classic Yakima Valley food-friendly acidity. Aromas of berries and spices, deep purple-black color, zesty complex flavors of fresh berries, plums, with hints of citrus, along with a pleasantly lingering finish.
