The grapes for our Emblem 2012 Oso Vineyard Petite Sirah were harvested from our family’s Oso Vineyard. Planted on slopes rising up from Swartz Creek, it is nestled between Sugarloaf and Howell Mountains in Napa Valley, where the historic Oat Hill Mine Road begins its ascent over the mountain toward Calistoga. The 2012 Emblem Petite Sirah is barrel aged for 20 months.  Blueberry and huckleberry aspects bring the fruit forward, without taking over the rich tannins and lean oak characteristics.
