Aaron Wines 2019 Paso Robles Petite Sirah offers a captivating taste of California’s renowned Central Coast vineyards. Crafted from select grapes grown in Paso Robles’ diverse microclimates, this bold red wine delivers a harmonious blend of rich flavors and refined elegance. With a 90-point rating from The Wine Advocate, this bottle stands out for its balanced intensity and complexity.

From the first sip, you’ll discover aromas of dark berries and blackcurrant intertwined with hints of bay leaf, toasted oak, and velvety bitter chocolate. The palate unfolds with lush layers of wild berry compote and black cherry liqueur, complemented by subtle notes of smoked meats and licorice that linger gracefully. While Petite Sirah is often associated with robust tannins, this vintage strikes an approachable yet powerful profile—dense enough for cellar-worthy depth but polished by French oak aging for smooth integration.
