Petite Sirah · 2021

Experience the bold and commanding presence of Petite Sirah, a titan among American wines renowned for its immense power and robust tannins. Flourishing prominently in the sun-drenched vineyards of California, particularly in the esteemed terroir of Napa Valley, Petite Sirah stands tall as one of the most revered grape varieties.

Often celebrated for its role in fortifying blends, Petite Sirah lends its formidable structure to elevate other wines, imparting a rich and velvety depth. Yet, when given the spotlight as a standalone varietal, it defies expectations with its chewy complexity and unmistakable character, belaying its diminutive moniker.

Our 2021 vintage Petite Sirah is a testament to the artistry of Clarksburg, California’s terroir. With meticulous care, our grapes are nurtured to perfection, culminating in a wine of unparalleled depth and elegance. Following an extended aging period in American oak barrels, this wine has matured into a masterpiece, unveiling a smooth and refined texture enveloped by luscious aromas of butterscotch.
