Relish Petite Sirah 2024

• Appearance: Deep, nearly opaque purple-black hue.

• Nose: Rich and inviting, with layered aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and ripe plum, accented by hints of black pepper, cocoa, and subtle notes of leather and licorice.

• Palate: Full-bodied and generously structured, offering firm yet polished tannins balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of dark, concentrated fruit unfold alongside nuances of dark chocolate, cracked pepper, and a touch of smoky vanilla from oak aging.

• Finish: Full-bodied with bold tannins and a long, savory finish. A wine of both power and elegance, showing the hallmark ripeness and grip of Dry Creek Valley fruit.

• Ageing Potential: This wine will continue to evolve gracefully, allowing its tannins to soften and complex secondary characteristics to emerge over time.

Decant for at least one hour and serve at 65°F

Today, we walk among these remarkable old vines, planted in their current home in 1890, though their roots trace back decades earlier along the riverbank.

Walking together in the vineyard, Billy shared the story of his great-grandfather — how, after a devastating Dry Creek flood in the late 1800s, he carefully searched his waterlogged land for surviving vines. One by one, he dug them up and replanted them on higher ground, on the very property now bordered by Dry Creek Road and Yoakim Bridge Road.

A testament to resilience, these vines continue to tell their story through every harvest.
