The palate is full-bodied with a dense yet smooth textural mouthfeel, firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity. Plenty to like.

Vibrant, juicy, complex and succulent, this inky monster will knock your socks off!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHailing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's yours today for just $19 a bottle.

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 possesses tremendous verve and energy. Drinks surprisingly well now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e100% Calistoga single-vineyard\u003cbr\u003e98% Petite Sirah, 2% Cabernet Franc (bottling blend - we didn't touch it)\u003cbr\u003e~35% new French oak, light and medium toast\u003cbr\u003e15% alc.\u003cbr\u003e~150 cases produced (saving the rest for blending)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAM X Wine by Cameron Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50847406981413,"sku":"LOT0026.BTL","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/4277\/5333\/files\/Lot_26_Suckling-tastry.png?v=1768933606","url":"https:\/\/camxwine.com\/products\/lot-26-2024-calistoga-petite-sirah","provider":"CAM X Wine by Cameron Hughes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
