Ridge "Lytton Estate" Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah 2016

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2018) "The 2016 Petite Syrah Lytton Springs is another fabulous wine in this range. Dense and powerful, the 2016 is endowed with striking depth and tons of character. The Petite tannins are nicely tamed in a wine that offers superb quality and pedigree. Creme de cassis, graphite, lavender and mint are front and center. The 2016 remains quite primary though, so readers need to be patient. Drink 2022-2036."

(6/24/2018) "Deep garnet-purple, the 2013 Petite Sirah Elevation is a little closed to begin, giving way to beautifully expressive sandalwood, Indian spices and dried roses notes over a core of preserved plums, blueberry pie and Black Forest cake with a waft of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it has a taut yet immediately accessible structure of firm tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy. Drink Date: 2018-2035"

Jaffurs "Thompson Vineyard" Santa Barbara County Petite Sirah 2016

Wine Advocate
(4/27/2018) "No one could mistake the 2016 Petite Sirah Thompson Vineyard from Jaffurs for anything but a Petite Sirah, but it's also remarkably elegant, wafting from the glass with aromas of plum preserve, tar, inky black fruits and licorice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with good concentration and sappy fruit, deep and richly tannic without ever becoming overbearing."

Three Wine Company Contra Costa County Petite Sirah 2015

Our Score
(2/2019) Matt Cline knows his way around Petite Sirah. This bottling comes from an old vine site in Contra Costa County where the sandy soils are literally like walking on a beach! This unique microclimate is perfect for old vine sustainability, as the vineyard destroying louse "phylloxera" cannot survive in the sand. Deliciously ripe and powerful, with a deep, impactful color, this is not a delicate offering. Try with short ribs or grilled strip steaks!

(6/2019) Another gorgeous release from Thurston Wolfe! This full-throttle red spent 21 months maturing in a combination of French and American oak.

(3/2018) This is a gorgeous, fruit-forward wine with black and purple fruits and a touch of peppery spice. While some Petite Sirah can be a bit over-the-top, this Zephyr Ridge bottling from Thurston Wolfe is nicely restrained. The palate stays bright and the finish is like velvet. Very impressive.

(3/2018) "Vibrant blackberry aromas leap from the glass on this bottling, which also offers anise, violet and dried meat aromas. The palate combines smashed black currants with black pepper and violets, wrapped together by serious tannins. Best Buy"

(12/2018) Petite Sirah might just be the wine Bogle does best. From their home base in Clarksburg, in southern Sacramento County, the Bogle family delivres yet another successful bottling of this concentrated, medium- to full-bodied red wine. Black fruits are here, along with a hint of red currant, fig and cocoa. Just plain tasty!
