Theopolis Vineyards 2019 Petite Sirah

A powerful follow-up vintage to the explosive 2018, this brings vivid floral aromas that lead into a palate bursting with berries and spice, clove and toast and a finishing lick of cacao. Aged 20 months in 30% new French oak, the depth, length and power are exceptional, yet nuance is never sacrificed. Theopolis is clearly a standard bearer for this often-underappreciated grape.

340 cases; 14.5% abv; $40
