Adaptation Petite Sirah 2017

Adaptation Petite Sirah 2017, crafted by the skilled hands of Winemakers of  ODETTEESTATE.COM at Adaptation, is a striking embodiment of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. Blending the essence of Oso Vineyard nestled between Howell Mountain and Sugarloaf with the allure of Langtry Vineyard just outside Pope Valley, this vintage seamlessly marries strength and elegance, showcasing the varietal’s true essence.

In the glass, the wine unveils a deep, alluring purple hue, promising an adventure for the senses. The bouquet is a captivating medley of wild berries, violets, and the subtle allure of licorice, complemented by the nuanced tones of pencil lead shavings, roasted coffee beans, and fresh tobacco. On the palate, its rich texture unveils layers of complexity, leading to a vibrant, enduring finish. The wine’s intricate journey is owed to the meticulous fermentation in small, fully jacketed stainless steel fermenters, ensuring the fruit’s purity and freshness, and 18 months of aging in carefully selected oak barrels.

His tasting notes capture the wine’s active aromas and flavors of blackberry and violets, suggesting a delightful pairing with a well-spiced roast leg of lamb.
