Estate Vineyards Petite Sirah

2008 Santa Barbara County Petite Sirah

The Lucas & Lewellen Estate Vineyards Petite Sirah from the renowned Santa Barbara County boasts a deep red color that captivates the eye. This 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of the varietal, presenting bold and intense fruit flavors, including luscious blackberries and ripe plums, complemented by intriguing hints of spice and dark chocolate. The wine’s medium body delivers a satisfying richness, while its well-balanced acidity enhances its overall freshness. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine’s complexity and aging potential. With a pleasingly dry finish, this Petite Sirah is both approachable and rewarding, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or enjoyable on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
