Winemaker Notes

The Petite Sirah from McManis Family Vineyards is vivid purple in color, with aromas of full toned Blackberry and Boysenberry. Caramel and Toffee are evident in the bouquet, as well as a Chocolate oak profile. The wine is substantial, yet has a rich soft cream texture of mocha. Very elegant and full of ripe black fruit flavors of Blackberry and Blueberry. These fruit flavors are savoured in the lingering mouthwatering finish.

Vineyard Notes

The grapes for our 2021 Petite Sirah were harvested between September 1st and October 15th with an average Brix of 26. 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 Oak for 6 months. Our 2021 Petite Sirah is a blend of 76% Petite Sirah with 17% Tannat and 7% Teroldego for robust body and deep hue.

The majority of our 2021 Petite Sirah came from Lodi and the remainder came from sustainable vineyards within the Northern Interior Valley.
