The word ANNATÉ is Italian for
vintages. Because each vintage has its virtues, challenges
and definitive qualities, several vintages were combined to create
this bottling of ANNATÉ. We found that the resulting
wine marries and transcends the best aspects of each year that lies
herein. This proprietary blend includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
and Petite Sirah.
ANNATÉ II is a blend of 2006 Syrah and
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from our family vineyard - Mia's Vineyard
- in Paso Robles, combined with 20056 Petite Sirah from Huer Huero
Vineyard in the same appellation, and a touch of the 2006 Annaté I
blend.
Inviting aromas of cherry, currant, with a touch
of smoke. Aromas follow through into the palate, combined with rich
full tannins.
This single-barrel blend was bottled in February
2009, allowed time to integrate in the bottle and released the
following Spring.
