Winemaker Notes
At 2500 feet above St. Helena on the north-eastern ridge of Napa Valley, the Petite Syrah from Rattlesnake Ridge Vineyard is a fantastic expression of Howell Mountain: the high elevation,
sun-drenched yet cool and windy site makes for a dark, profound Petite Syrah. Perfumed with violets, fragrant white flowers, brambly fruits and sweet leather; with some age and a good decanting, this wine could pass for Côte Rôtie. An assisted lift from the bright acidity balances the expansive palate, which is dense, powerful, and opens even further throughout the lengthy finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Very deep opaque purple-black in color, the 2017 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge has a very pretty nose of fresh violet, lilac, peach cobbler, perfumed earth, cinnamon and nutmeg with black cherry liqueur, smoked meats and fried herbs hints. Full-bodied and huge in the mouth, it has a singular, savory palate with perfumed notes, framed by very firm, very chewy tannins, finishing very long and very layered. This is a beast!
-
Wine Spectator
Deeply structured and loaded with personality, offering blueberry and blackberry flavors, laced with dried orange, sandalwood and pepper notes that persist toward burly tannins. Best from 2021 through 2026.
