Tasting Notes:

As the name suggests, our 2021 Bare Knuckle Petite Sirah holds no punches. Spicy cracks of black pepper hit your senses, building into a dense blueberry core. A heavy, full bodied tannin structure lays out the finish with notes of vanilla bourbon lingering on the palate.

Winemaker’s Notes:

We produce our Bare Knuckle Petite Sirah to be bold, and concentrated, yet by adding a small amount of Zinfandel, we are able to elevate both the rich fruit and spice notes, making it smooth enough to appeal to a wide audience.
