2003 Livermore Valley Petite Sirah

The Concannon Reserve Petite Sirah from the 2003 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Livermore Valley, showcasing its deep, rich red color that invites you in for a closer look. This wine displays a full-bodied character, with a robust structure that is complemented by high acidity, bringing a delightful brightness to the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of pepper and cocoa that add depth and complexity. Tannins are notable and provide a firm backbone, supporting the wine's aging potential and overall richness. It is crafted in a dry style, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. The Concannon Reserve is a true testament to the superior winemaking in the Livermore Valley, promising an enjoyable experience for any wine enthusiast.

Central Coast

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.
