This Petite Sir­ah is from our CCOF-Cer­ti­fied organ­ic Blind Faith and Dou­ble Black Vine­yards that are nes­tled on the east side of the Paso Rob­les AVA. Petite Sir­ah is typ­i­cal­ly a tan­nic, bold wine, but long, hot days in Paso Rob­les with cool­er evenings cre­ates con­cen­trat­ed fla­vors and high acid­i­ty to bal­ance the high sug­ars. Enjoy now or lie down in your cel­lar for aging

The 2020 Petite Sir­ah was sourced from our organ­i­cal­ly cer­ti­fied Estrel­la dis­trict vine­yards. Locat­ed on an ele­vat­ed ridge this vine­yard has con­sis­tent­ly pro­vid­ed clean well ripened fruit for intense red wines. Petite Sir­ah can make bal­anced, high­ly struc­tured wines if the fer­men­ta­tion is man­aged well. We like to press from the skins while the wine is still sweet to extract max­i­mum fla­vor and col­or while avoid­ing exces­sive tan­nins which can throw off the bal­ance. The wine then fer­ments dry before mov­ing it to small Amer­i­can oak bar­rels. The vari­ety is known for its dense col­or and high amount of tan­nic struc­ture. It makes a good com­ple­ment to food of a sim­i­lar weight.
