Theopolis Vineyards in the Yorkville Highlands in Mendocino County, California produces high-quality, complex, and structured varietal Petite Sirah. They showcase how the variety can thrive beyond serving as a mere blending partner with Zinfandel or Cabernet. Their 2019 Petite Sirah boasts hedonistic aromas of violets, blackberry compote, black currants, black plum, black pepper, and dried sage. The palate is full of abundant black fruit, while hints of clove and cocoa add to the intrigue. Bright acidity allows this to stay light on its feet and provides a long, persistent finish.
