About This Wine
Whipstitch
Petite Sirah
The grape is called “Petite” because the fruit is typically very small, but there’s nothing small about the flavor. Smoothed by the coastal influence of the Pacific (warm days and cool nights), the fruit used for this wine offers an incredible concentration of flavor and fruit intensity. The blackberry and black cherry jump out of the glass, and the more subtle notes of licorice, smoke, and leather will keep you coming back for more. The complexity is undeniable and will make for a great pairing wine. Try it with chicken in Mole sauce, cheeses, or stuffed peppers. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge and at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Violet

Smoke
This is a dark inky, wine that has beautiful floral notes. We get violets that mix with leather and the light tannins. The fruit is there but is more subdued that in many wines. It's a complex and fun wine to drink that unfold licorice and smoke as you drink.
