2021 Stags' Leap Winery Napa Valley Petite Sirah
Winery Notes- Captivates with a fragrant nose of bramble berry fruit, freshly baked blackberry pie, boysenberry, black plum, and black cherry cobbler, with hints of graham cracker crust, lifted lavender, and thyme. Voluptuous, vibrant, and lithe with juicy acidity that accentuates the abundant dark berry fruit. Sinewy, firm tannins lend a viscous texture, while the long and punchy finish leaves a lasting impression. Balanced and beautiful, this Petite Sirah shows restraint and elegance, with subtle oak integration.$36.9012 -
2023 Hayfork Calistoga Napa Valley Charbono
Winery Notes- The Hayfork Charbono is sourced from the sustainably farmed Shypoke Vineyard in Calistoga, where the Heitz family has been growing Charbono since 1904. This wine is medium-bodied with with stunning dark ruby color and surprising structure. Charbono is approachable but proves its complexity and nuance with layers of earthy tannin and generous flavors of black plum, wild raspberry, warming spices, and bay laurel.$34.9021 -
2023 The Vice The Porterhouse Coombsville Napa Valley Petite Sirah (Was $60)
Winery Notes- Inky, dense and highly aromatic with highlights of huckleberry and violets. Potent and rich with bold personality, the huge mouthfeel offers layers of blueberry wrapped around velvety smooth tannins. The finish goes on and on. Since this Petite Sirah is unfiltered and un-fined, it will continue to be plush and juicy for years to come and slowly reveal notes of sandalwood, white pepper, tobacco and spice.$34.907 -
2021 Ridge Vineyards Lytton Estate Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah

2021 Green & Red Tip Top Vineyard Napa Valley Petite Sirah
Winery Notes- The grapes for this Petite Sirah come from the highest point of Tip Top Vineyard, just touching 2000 feet in elevation. This west facing block, while one of the warmer spots on the property, is constantly buffeted by strong mountain winds pulled inland from the coast. This mix of sun and wind provides ideal growing conditions for our Petite Sirah. A deeply pigmented wine, it is layered with aromas of blackberry galette, dried clover, and sage. Soft, velvety tannins accompany refreshing acidity.$33.9014 -
2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Bedrock Vineyard - Heritage Wine Sonoma Valley Red Blend
Winery Notes- One of the triumphs of the very good 2022 vintage, this is one of my favorite Bedrock Heritage wines we have made to date. Alas, due to a rough late frost, we also have less of it than normal. Starting in 2022 we adjusted some elements on the viticultural side, including less leafing of the canopy around the clusters. This had a positive impact as the more shaded fruit led to better resolved structure and a bit more suppleness earlier on. This wine always ages beautifully on the back of its tannin component, but sometimes the wines can approach a level of austerity in their youth that requires some patience. Though this wine will still age gracefully for decades, I do think it is one of the more immediately satisfying renditions of the wine— calling to mind the 2012 or 2016 vintages. As always, this is a field-blend of the 20+ varieties planted in 1888 at our home ranch. Based around Zinfandel (roughly 65%), the Bedrock Heritage always has a generous dollop of the spectacular old vine Carignan and Mataro in it, along with the smaller percentages of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo, Trousseau, Castets, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Lenoir, et al… Wonderfully spicy and perfumed, this wine sings the song of Sonoma Valley.$44.9019
