Planted on the Western benchland of Rutherford, in Maxwell-clay and Pleasonton-loam soils is this beautiful dry-farmed vineyard made up of head-trained and double-cordon-trained vines. Frank Leeds and his family are known throughout the valley for their farming expertise and we have been honored to work with them.

Dark violet color. Aromas of rose hips, pomegranate, and milk chocolate with a chewy, crisp, dry-yet-fruity full body and a warming, complex, long candied nuts and orange peel, coconut macaroon, dried cranberry, spice cake, apricot chutney, and a slight tobacco finish. A decadent and luxurious Petite Sirah with craveable notes of fruit, spice, and toasty tobacco.

This is the final vintage of Petite Sirah from Leeds and Pesch Vineyards for Jacob Franklin.
