Nolan Ranch, Alisos Canyon
This wine comes from Nolan Ranch in the slightly cooler Alisos Canyon. After native fermentation in open top stainless steel, the wine spent 24 months in 30 percent new oak.
Wine Enthusiast, 93 points The newish Alisos Canyon appellation is home to some of the more interesting Petite Sirah around. This bottling is dense with charred and raw lamb aromas on the nose, with elderberry providing the fruit base. The palate is quite tarry and meaty, as hints of rosemary and more dark fruit complete the cooler climate picture. — Matt Kettmann
