Our Tower 15, 2018 Petit Sirah spotlights a full-bodied, high in tannin and acidity ageworthy wine with a handsome inky purple appearance. The grapes for this small bottling are sourced from Texas Road Vineyard in the San Marcos District of Paso Robles where a warm growing season helps this grape reach ideal ripeness. This wine was fermented in small open-top tanks and punched down by hand three times daily during its initial fermentation. It was then barrel-aged for eighteen months, during which it underwent malolactic fermentation, in 25% new French & American oak barrels.
