Sirius 2019
Sirius is a blend of 62% Barbera, 38% Zinfandel from the Columbia Valley and Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Aromas of dried oregano, tomato, black olive and porchetta. Medium bodied, medium tannin. This is our pizza wine! With a lot of ripe cooked fruit and a crisp finish this wine is excellently to paired with spicy and bold dishes. Please decant!

Sirius 2016
88 points - Jeb Dunnuck Reviews "The 2016 Sirius is another interesting blend from this estate, made from 52% Dolcetto, 30% Barbera, and 18% Zinfandel. Deeper ruby-colored, with impressive notes of blackberries, road tar, smoked herbs, and pepper, it's nicely balanced, has a silky texture, and present yet ripe tannins. It's a charmer to drink over the coming 4-6 years or so."
90 points - Interantional Wine Report/Owen Bargreen "This wine is primarily Dolcetto and Barbara sourced from the Horse Heaven Hills. Red fruits and spice box mark the nose. Fruity and forward, this carries not only good weight but excellent tension."
