Handley Cellars Petite Sirah is a bold California red wine crafted by this small, family-owned winery in Mendocino County, bonded in 1982. The grapes are sourced from the Vittorio Vineyard in the Redwood Valley AVA, a sub-appellation of Mendocino County known for warm days ideal for growing robust, full-bodied red varietals.

This wine presents a deep ruby color with inviting aromas of wild brambles, sage, anise, cracked pepper, and biscotti. On the palate it delivers intense flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, plum, and cocoa, accented by subtle notes of spicy sandalwood and tobacco. The wine is round and full in the mouth with medium tannins and a structure that supports further cellaring.

At 13.5% ABV, this Petite Sirah pairs beautifully with hearty dishes including beef, lamb, and game meats such as venison. Contains sulfites.
