The Petite Sirah vineyard is located in St Helena on Fulton Lane with vines between 65 and 75 years old. The vines are head pruned meaning the canopy of leaves provides shade to the clusters which was very important in a warm vintage like 2015.

The multi-vintage Triquetra is a unique blend made from a combination of 2011, 2012 and 2013 Cabernet from the Northwest corner of the V Madrone property, to form a singular and unique expression of land, exposure and varietal.

This tiny parcel at the entrance of the estate receives early sunshine and later shade in the afternoon with distinct soil type consists of more alluvial rocks and Bale clay loam than the red, iron-laden or shale soils that comprise the majority of the vineyard. The differences produce a unique wine which benefits from an extra year in barrel. In addition, horseshoes were discovered in the vineyard in 2001!
