Shirah Petite Sirah 2020

Petite Sirah thrives in warm and windy Westside Paso Robles. From bush vines grown at the highly acclaimed Rolph Family Vineyard, our parcel produced small clusters of very ripe, powerful Petite. In a significant shift from our prior bottlings from Santa Barbara County which showcased a more classy, juicy style, this vintage from Paso displays a darker, more massive and structured rendition. Not for the faint of heart, this is a powerful, brash wine with insane levels of ripe fruit flavors. It is definitely recommended to let this wine open up quite a bit.
