First Time Caller

2022 Paso Robles Petite Sirah

Herman Story First Time Caller is an exceptional Petite Sirah from the renowned Paso Robles wine region, celebrated for its robust and full-bodied profile. The 2022 vintage brings forth a wine with high intensity and powerful, structured tannins that are beautifully integrated. This wine exudes prominent notes of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by layers of spice and a hint of smokiness. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a fresh counterbalance to the wine's rich and opulent fruit character. Elegant yet bold, this Petite Sirah is a delightful representation of Paso Robles' ability to produce world-class wines.

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.
