2021 Thompson Vineyard Petite Sirah

Thompson Vineyard is situated in the windy Alisos Canyon corridor between Santa Ynez Valley and Los Alamos. These vines are draped in fog in the morning and blasted by wind in the evening, producing low-yielding, concentrated, and fruit forward grapes that show serious structure and depth. This bold, structured, and opulent red features the Adobe series label “El Rey,” or “The King,” in reference to the era when The King of Spain owned the land upon which our adobe now stands.
