McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2023 (California)

Description

Chocolate, Oak, Raspberry

"Richly expressed and instantly appealing, the wine shows black and blueberry, baking spice, game, and toasty oak aromas on the nose. The palate is weighty and bold with fleshy texture and polished tannins, making it brooding and flavoursome with a long, delectable finish. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

Our Petite Sirah is full-bodied with a rich purple color . A delicious wine from front to back, leading with aromas and flavors of chocolate, caramel, toee, and rich black fruit. The mid-palate is driven by mocha notes that carry through to the long, luxurious finish.

Our Petite Sirah is a blend of 76% Petite Sirah with 24% Tannat for robust body and deep hue.

The majority of our Petite Sirah came from Lodi from sustainable vineyards. The grapes for our Petite Sirah were harvested between October 3rd and October 12th with an average Brix of 25.2.
