This bold and powerful wine is a blend of Petite Sirah from Rutherford and Cabernet Sauvignon from St Helena. This wine, dark purple in color, brings the intensity with its flavors of baker's chocolate, bramble dark berries, and hints of white pepper. The palate continues with big notes of blue and black berries with hints of earthiness that all come together with balanced tannins. This bold and tense red blend will age well with years.

An intense, rich and impactful bottle of wine, Knockout will steal the show. This delectable wine gets its power and strength from a core of Petite Sirah which is spicy and intense in the glass, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds finesse and grace. The uncommon pairing of intense and rich Petite Sirah with the plushness of Cabernet Sauvignon is a winning combination!

A blend of 60% Petite Sirah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 70% new French oak, the 2016 Proprietary Red Knockout is deep purple-black in color and scented of mocha and baked black and blue fruits with suggestions of earth and fruitcake. The palate is full-bodied, rich, concentrated, firm and chewy, finishing long and layered. This needs time, for sure, but give it a good 4-5 years in the cellar and, as the name promises, it will be a knockout! 78 cases produced.

A firm and juicy red with blueberry and dark-chocolate character. Wet earth. Flavorful and intense. Layered and velvety. Petite sirah and cabernet sauvignon.
