STORY: Cindy has always really liked Petite Sirah, and in 2007 she decided she wanted to make some. Due to its rarity in Washington at the time, she asked Leif Olsen of Olsen Vineyard to plant us an acre. Having a full-time job and business to run, Cindy is a busy lady, and as she tells the story, she “honestly forgot to mention it to David and Morgan” – for four years! Halfway through the 2010 harvest season, Leif called Morgan asking for a harvest timeline. “What Petite Sirah?” Morgan replied. Although Cindy is no longer allowed to order fruit, we are grateful for Petite Sirah finding its way into our portfolio.
