2018 Graziano Family Petite Sirah – Bold California Elegance

Savor a meticulously crafted Petite Sirah from Mendocino County’s sun-kissed vineyards. This 2018 vintage balances intense fruit character with refined structure, making it ideal for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.

Tasting Profile
• Primary notes of blackberry cobbler and dark chocolate
• Secondary layers of violet petals and toasted oak
• Finishing spice complexity with subtle tar undertones
• Silky tannins provide grip without heaviness (14.5% ABV)

Winemaker’s Touch
Unlike many modern Petite Sirahs that prioritize intensity over balance, Graziano Family Wines employs extended malolactic fermentation and French oak aging to create a velvety texture that pairs exceptionally with grilled lamb chops or aged Gouda cheese.

Why This Vintage Stands Out
• Cold fermentation preserves fresh berry aromatics
• Hand-harvested clusters ensure optimal ripeness
• Limited production (under 500 cases annually)
• Certified sustainable vineyard practices

Perfect for collectors seeking California’s premier dark-fruited reds or everyday enthusiasts craving complexity without harshness. While current inventory shows availability at select retailers nationwide, each vintage may present unique characteristics due to our small-batch production philosophy.
