The Crusher

2011 Clarksburg Petite Sirah

Don Sebastiani & Sons The Crusher Petite Sirah from the 2011 vintage is a remarkable red wine hailing from the Clarksburg region. This wine delights with its full-bodied character, presenting a harmonious balance between lush fruit intensity and a vibrant acidity that keeps the palate refreshed. The tannins are notable yet refined, offering structure without overpowering the rich, dark fruit flavors that dominate the profile. With a dryness that leans towards the dry side, this Petite Sirah is both approachable and compelling, making it a delightful choice for various occasions. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes, it encapsulates the essence of quality winemaking from this emerging California wine area.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
