Reserve Petite Sirah

2009 Paso Robles Petite Sirah

The Shell Creek Vineyards Reserve Petite Sirah from the 2009 vintage is a captivating red wine that hails from the renowned Paso Robles region. This wine showcases a full-bodied profile, boasting high acidity that brings brightness and vibrancy to every sip. The fruit intensity is profound, revealing layers of rich black fruits, including blackberry and plum, along with enticing hints of dark chocolate and black pepper. Tannins are notable and structured, providing a firm backbone that complements the fruit beautifully. This delightful Petite Sirah is dry, making it a superb choice for those who appreciate a bold and expressive wine that pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes.

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.
