Lot 492 Petite Sirah

2022 Russian River Valley Petite Sirah

De Negoce Lot 492 Petite Sirah from the 2022 vintage is a true gem from the renowned Russian River Valley. This wine is a robust example of what Petite Sirah can offer, with a full-bodied presence that immediately commands attention. The deep, inky color sets the stage for a rich sensory experience. Aromas of ripe blackberries, blueberries, and a hint of black pepper lead into flavors that burst with dark fruits, complemented by notes of mocha and vanilla from oak aging. The acidity is refreshingly lively, balancing the wine's bold fruit intensity and pronounced tannins perfectly. It delivers a powerful yet sophisticated finish that lingers elegantly on the palate. The Russian River Valley's cool climate and rich soils have clearly worked their magic, producing a wine that is both intensely flavorful and impeccably balanced. This Petite Sirah is a perfect match for hearty meals, BBQ, or simply to savor on its own.

Russian River Valley

Prized for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma's Russian River Valley is one of California's premier AVAs for cool-climate wines. Blessed with the Petaluma Gap—a break in the coastal mountains where chill, foggy air blows in from the Pacific—the valley also benefits from the effects of the Russian River itself. This draws cool Pacific Ocean air inland and creates blanketing fogs that veil the vineyards throughout the chilly mornings. The result is one of the state's longest and coolest growing seasons. Bracing acidity and complex flavors characterize wines from this region, which also includes excellent sparklers made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
