Description

Known and loved for its extraordinary inky color, concentrated flavors and fullbodied structure, Petite Sirah has become a staple in the Epiphany lineup. The nose reveals enticing aromas of blackberries, plums, and black currants, intermingled with hints of cracked black pepper, violets, and a touch of mocha. Rich and velvety, this Petite Sirah delivers complex layers of black fruits, spice, dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla on the palate, culminating in a long, persistent finish.

With its bold flavors and robust tannic structure, Petite Sirah is at its best when paired with equally rich and full-flavored dishes. Smoked and barbecued meats are a natural choice as well as beef stroganoff, chicken in molé sauce or stuffed peppers. Petite Sirah also pairs beautifully with strong, aged cheeses such as aged Gouda or a bold bleu cheese to enhance the wine’s dark fruit flavors and complement its savory undertones. 

Wine Critic Reviews
"...packed with inky dark fruit, espresso, licorice, lavender and sweet spice. Unctuous and full-bodied, the 2021 possesses notable textural richness and a good bit of freshness to match. It's another impeccable wine in this range from Epiphany. Blair Fox did a terrific job in avoiding the massive Petite tannins." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "Juicy black and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and violet notes all shine in the 2021 Petite Sirah Rodney's Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Petite Sirah that holds onto a beautiful sense of purity, freshness, and balance." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Dark elderberry and tarry aromas meet with peppercorn on the nose of this rich and savory bottling. The palate is incredibly intense and complex, offering lilac, violet and blueberry flavors that are wrapped in balanced tannins and a persistent acidity." ~ Wine Enthusiast
