The new wave of Petite Sirah wine making going on these days is drawing attention and changing the way this grape is regarded. Surging forward is the recognition by winemakers, insiders, wine judges and critics that Petite Sirah is a time-tested noble grape that is truly deserving the status as a classic California varietal. Robert Biale has been producing this varietal for years, and I would say that this might be the best one he has ever produced.

Dense and thickly tannic, but with plenty of oomph to the juicy, ripe blackberry and boysenberry flavors, offering white pepper, sage and cedar notes that create a terrific chorus. Despite its boldness, this maintains a sense of refinement, with a long finish.
Winemaker Notes: “A deep, blackish blue color profile with aromas of currants, red plum, quince, violets, figs, molasses and blackberry. Medium bodied with a broad mid-palate structure that builds to complex layers of texture and flavors. The oak profile integrates the fruit and tannins which are wide grained and lead to a long, lingering finish.”
Wine Enthusiast 94 Points: “Juicy black fruit presents on the palate as soft, supple and well integrated in this memorable wine, which was aged in Burgundian oak for 17 months. It shows touches of baking spice, black pepper and violet, with plenty of structure and texture.”
