**not the Black Tie*** This is the pre-release of the 100% petite sirah from Livermore. It’s a mellow 15.8% ha. Big inky wine. From casa de vinas vineyard on the eastern side of livermore which is owned by Julio Covarrubias (senior vineyard manager at wente). Some great wines coming out of this valley floor vineyard (mckahn, nottingham wineries). — 5 years ago
