NV Mending Wall 'Mortar & Stone' Red Wine, Napa Valley   

We have waited several years for the stars to align so we could let the Petite Sirah dominate this blend with Zinfandel. In 2017 they did! Power and complexity drive this wine forward. These are just two of the many virtues afforded by the unique characteristics of this harvest season. Petite Sirah from the Palisades Vineyard plays the starring role in this edition of Mortar & Stone. Those who have become familiar with the alluring structure and lightly peppered blue fruit notes will no doubt be further enticed by the layered nuances of blackberry from the Zinfandel. A balanced and approachable wine now with hints of the reward to come for those who allow a bit more age for this one.
