2023 Cellar Club Petite Sirah
Sourced from long-time friends, the Steinbeck family, this Petite Sirah reflects over fifty years of grape-growing experience and partnership. The wine was aged 15 months in
second- and third-fill French oak, allowing the bold fruit and structure to shine while adding subtle spice and integration. The result is a powerful yet refined wine that honors both site
and stewardship.
Tasting Notes
Deeply opaque and intensely expressive, this Petite Sirah bursts with aromas of blackberry jam and wild brambles, layered with hints of vanilla and cracked black pepper. On the palate, rich, bold tannins frame concentrated dark berry flavors, while medium acidity keeps the wine balanced and well-rounded, finishing powerful yet polished.ilky and
indulgent, unfolding layers of custard and toffee that add warmth and depth. Fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced, finishing smooth, creamy, and gently decadent.
Food Pairings
This bold Petite Sirah pairs exceptionally well with grilled or smoked meats such as beef short ribs, brisket, or lamb shanks. Its dark fruit and peppery notes also complement barbecue with a touch of spice, blackened steaks, and aged, firm cheeses like sharp
cheddar or aged Gouda.
