From a single block of four acres planted in 1929 and consisting of Petite Sirah (about 85%) and a field blend of 16 different varieties, the 2014 Petite Sirah Ne Cede Malis has a very deep garnet-purple color and a provocatively earthy/meaty nose over a core of baked blackberries and black raspberries with hints of anise, mocha and chargrill. The palate is big, rich and spicy, with the full-bodied fruit nicely structured by firm, chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and savory. A truly unique wine!
