Keplinger Sumo Petite Sirah El Dorado 2018

Sumo is a Cote Rôtie twist on Petite Sirah - Petite Sirah co-fermented with Viognier, and blended with a small amount of Syrah. The 2018 Sumo is a blend of 85% Petite Sirah, 11% Syrah, and 4% Viognier, all from the rocky, volcanic, impeccably-and-organically-farmed Shake Ridge Vineyard. Mixed berries, tar, cassis, cracked pepper, and dried flowers. It's amazing that so much intensity and power can be packed into a single wine.
