Wine Spectator

The “Top Petite Sirahs of the Year- 2015” [2011 Aratas Petite Sirah]

Wine Spectator

The top ranked Petite Sirah, first place winner Aratas Wine… a beautiful example of 100% Petite Sirah

Aratás puts more bottle age on their Petite Sirah than most, and the extra maturity shows…a beautifully sculpted wine.

The highest rating I’ve ever given a Petite Sirah
