Turley Petite Sirah Hayne Vineyard 2022 750ml

Opaque ruby-black in the glass, the 2022 Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard is as poised and graceful as this variety can possibly be. The nose is driven by aromas of roasted plums, cassis and toasted coconut with dark spice-driven undertones. The palate is full-bodied, powerful and characteristically dense, offering a blocky, opaque fruit flavor that melds with an intriguing, perfumed, energetic lift. The sheer class and authority of the Hayne site peer through here—albeit in a more glossy manner than found in other varieties—and finishes with a combination of chewy tannins, balancing acidity and decadent dark fruits.

Varietal

Petite Sirah

Petite Sirah, often confused with Syrah, is a robust red grape variety celebrated for its bold and full-bodied wines. What makes Petite Sirah unique is its intense color, powerful tannins, and rich, concentrated flavors. Originating from France, it found a new home in California, where it thrives in regions like Napa Valley and Sonoma.

Petite Sirah wines are characterized by their inky color, often accompanied by flavors of dark fruits like blackberry and blueberry, complemented by notes of pepper and spice. The grape’s thick skins contribute to the wines’ formidable structure, making them age-worthy and suitable for extended cellar aging.

Despite its name, Petite Sirah is anything but “petite” in character. These wines appeal to those who appreciate bold, expressive reds, and they stand out for their ability to pair well with hearty dishes. Exploring Petite Sirah invites wine enthusiasts to experience the robust and powerful side of red wine, making it a compelling choice for those seeking intense and flavorful expressions.
