Shell Creek Vineyard

2013 Paso Robles Petite Sirah

The Imagery Shell Creek Vineyard Petite Sirah from the 2013 vintage is a splendid representation of Paso Robles winemaking, showcasing a deep, rich red color that hints at its robust character. This wine is full-bodied with a high level of acidity that enlivens the palate, creating a mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering luscious notes of blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and spice. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's generous fruit profile, while the overall dryness of the wine balances its richness beautifully. Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes, this Petite Sirah speaks to the exceptional terroir of its vineyard, inviting wine lovers to savor each sip.

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.
