PETITE SIRAH - STAGS LEAP NAPA | 750 ml

The Petite Sirah grape has a long history in California and at one point actually was more prevalent in Napa Valley than Cabernet Sauvignon. Today this is an outlier in Napa, a rarity but showing excellent class and precision in the glass. From an excellent vintage, there is an abundance of fruit and structure along with great California ripeness. Very much a wine to open and decant, it is all coiled up and willing to be released. Try with big glasses and some lamb chops.
