Tasting Notes
This wine hits all of the juicy fruit that you would want from a Petite Sirah while remaining pretty and fresh. Subtle espresso and almond notes on the nose mix with papaya, peach, red plum, and gummy cherries. The palate is dry but viscous, showing its style well.

The Vineyard
AVA: Texas Hill Country
Formerly Hoover Valley Vineyard, Uplift Vineyard was renamed to represent the spirit of our industry, as well as the ancient geographical feature called the Llano Uplift where it is located. This feature is a product of magmatic eruption and then erosion that exposed the hardened granite and mineral beneath, which appear uplifted as a result. These 55 acres of southern French and Mediterranean grape varieties were planted in the Hoover's Valley in 2013.
Elevation: 1,500 ft. Soil: Decomposed granite with sandy loam pockets, and mineral. Age of vines: 5-7 years (planted 2013).
