McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2024 (California)

Description

Chocolate, Oak, Raspberry

"Richly fruited with enticing complexity, the bouquet shows aromas of pineapple, peach, vanilla, assorted nuts, and butterscotch. It's succulent and plump in the mouth, offering a beautifully flowing mouthfeel, splendidly supported by fleshy texture and elegant acidity, finishing velvety and lingering. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 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, toffee, 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 predominately Petite Sirah with some Tannat and Teroldego for a 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. After 6-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the must was pressed and the resulting wine finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged on new and used French and American Oak for 7 months.
