Our winemaker select, reserve Petite Sirah reveals itself in a regal robe of deep, inky purple—an early hint of the intensity within. The nose is a tapestry of dark fruit—blackberry compote and blackcurrant—woven with seductive notes of fresh-roasted coffee, bittersweet cocoa, and delicate toasts from its time in new French oak. On the palate, decadence reigns: velvety waves of dark chocolate and caramel unfold, layered with toasted hazelnut and framed by supple, mouth-coating tannins. A whisper of wild blackberry lingers through the long, luxurious finish. Bold yet refined, this full-bodied wine is built to age with grace. Pair it with a rustic cassolette or braised wild game for a truly transcendent experience.
After small-lot fermentation, our Winters Highlands Petite Sirah was aged in once and twice used French oak for 16 months then barrel selected and aged in new and once used French oak for an additional 12 months. This Petite Sirah comes from a block that is planted on the steepest hillside in our Coble Ranch Vineyard, increasing the flavor concentration in the grapes. This creates a bold flavor profile due to the increased skin to juice ratio which intensifies the tannin structure and color in the finished wine.
Only 100 cases produced.
