2018 Petite Sirah Reserve, Newsom Vineyards
Bending Branch Winery Petite Sirah from Newsom Vineyards, one of the most respected growers in the Texas High Plains AVA, is a robust expression of the variety – bright, bold, and balanced. A reserve bottling is produced only when nature and the winemaker conspire to create something very special. Exceptional fruit and extended aging yield a limited wine of unique character.
