Alexander Valley Petite Sirah 2022 – La Storia Red Wine

La Storia’s 2022 Petite Sirah from Alexander Valley in Sonoma County is a bold yet approachable red wine that has earned its place among the best with a 2024 Gold Medal at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. Crafted to impress, this full-bodied gem combines power and elegance, making it perfect for wine enthusiasts seeking both complexity and drinkability.

From the first pour, this California Petite Sirah captivates with its deep, inky hue and an aromatic profile bursting with ripe blueberries and blackberries. Upon opening or brief decanting, layers of cocoa, violets, and subtle earthy notes emerge alongside hints of graphite and vanilla—a testament to its aging in new oak barrels. The tannins are notably softer than typical for the varietal, offering a velvety texture that balances intensity with approachability.

Ideal for those who love rich reds but prefer smoother tannins, this wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or robust pasta sauces. Its exceptional balance of fruit-forward flavors and refined oak undertones also makes it a standout choice for cellaring; when stored properly, it will continue to evolve into a more nuanced sip over 5–8 years.

La Storia’s expertise shines through in this Alexander Valley Petite Sirah’s structure and aging potential. At 14.8% alcohol by volume, it delivers a bold yet harmonious drinking experience without overwhelming the palate—a rare find in this varietal. Whether enjoyed now or saved for later, this medal-winning bottle offers a compelling taste of Sonoma County’s renowned terroir.
