2015 Petite Sirah “Park Muscatine” Vineyard Howell Mountain Inky dark fruitThe historic Park Muscatine vineyard on Howell Mountain was chosen in part because Mike has known this vineyard since his childhood, pruning the vineyard in winter, and harvesting the fruit in the fall. With its scant ton per acre production, this vineyard is a gem. Originally planted in the 1890s and replanted in the 1980s, this sentinel on the hill has been the source for our Petite Sirah from 2003 2015, when it was replanted to Cabernet for Dunn.
