Our 2019 Petite Sirah is full-bodied with a rich purple color. A delicious wine from front to back, leading with aromas and flavors of chocolate, caramel, toffee, and rich black fruit. The mid-palate is driven by mocha notes that carry through to the long, luxurious finish.

January 2024 (Vintage 2022)

Opulent dark berries, baking spices and orange marmalade show on the nose. Full-bodied, saturated boysenberry, olallieberry, dried potpourri and malted chocolate glide across the palate, finishing with silky tannins. Aerate and enjoy with barbecue.

This Petite Sirah includes a small percentage of Tannat and Teroldego in the mix, resulting in a deep-purple hue and full tannic structure that is well met by the voluptuousness of the fruits. Find notes of blackberry bush, bramble, fennel, capsicum, black cherry, smoke, toast and leather.
