Normally, I would be hesitant to put a '24 Petite Sirah into the bottle so young, but the warmth of the 2024 vintage delivered this absolutely gorgeous Petite in bottle-ready shape. Vibrant, juicy, complex and succulent, this inky monster will knock your socks off!

It did mine! Honestly, I paid as much for this wine as I have many a '23 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon...I tried to hold out for a better price but winemaking loves PS as a blender so, well, we just had to have it. We are only bottling about 150 cases (exact blend we received) and I have priced this is low as I can go.

Hailing from a $75/bottle, single-vineyard designated Calistoga District program located in the eastern alluvials just north of the St. Helena border, this Petite Sirah is produced from 40-50 year old vines. It is aged in some really nice, 35% new mix of light and medium-toast French oak barrels that serve to anchor the lovely chocolate notes beautifully while lifting the fruit, delivering fantastic vibrancy and energy to a deep, delicious wine.

It's yours today for just $169 per case DELIVERED. If you like Petite Sirah, this is a don't miss!

Squid ink in the glass, totally glass-staining opaque with an electric purple rim. Boisterous bouquet of boysenberry pie, blueberry syrup lifted with fresh raspberry puree and anchored with black forest cake - my god, you could practically eat the nose. Super compelling and fresh, especially when the marzipan and bergamot notes come out with a little air. Remarkably supple on entry with a super-sexy, energetic structure delivering complex, precise raspberry fruit complexed with blueberry syrup and chocolate cake notes. Succulent and seamless across the palate with a lengthy, resounding finish, this beautiful Petite Sirah posseses tremendous verve and energy. Drinks surprisingly well now!
