For nearly a century Petite Sirah held the title of the most commonly planted variety in the Napa Valley, only surpassed by Cabernet in the late 1960’s. Known for its dark color, firm structure, deep blue and black fruit flavors, Petite Sirah has an affinity for improving blends made from Zinfandel or Cabernet— it is no wonder that this grape held the top spot among growers and winemakers for so many years.

To honor the heritage of Petite Sirah in the Napa Valley, we bottle our Petite Sirah under the name Royal Punishers. An anagram of the parent grapes of Petite Sirah, Peloursin, and Syrah, the name Royal Punishers speaks to the wine’s finesse and structure.

A 100% Petite Sirah blend with components from Rutherford, the Oak Knoll, Pope Valley, and St. Helena, the Royal Punishers shows why Petite Sirah remains a vital part of Napa Valley’s grape growing traditions.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Warm and inviting with notes of blackberry, cedar, plum, and wet slate on the nose. Rich on the palate with clove, blackberry, fig, and white pepper. Elegant, mouth coating tannins frame this wonderfully complex Napa Valley Petite Sirah.
