Lot 924 is a powerhouse Petite Sirah from the heart of Dry Creek Valley, delivering bold intensity with refined structure. This inky, full-bodied stunner hails from one of the region’s most esteemed vineyards, offering serious depth and complexity at an unbeatable value. On the nose, Lot 924 bursts with concentrated blackberry and blackcurrant, layered with deep plum and a hint of wet stone. A subtle note of dark pepper emerges, adding a savory complexity reminiscent of charcuterie, though not overwhelmingly so. On the palate, this Petite Sirah is dry yet intensely fruit-driven—think ripe purple fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, and even a touch of nostalgic purple popsicle. The rich fruit core carries seamlessly through to a long, velvety finish. How to enjoy a wine like this? It’s bold enough to sip on its own, especially with snacks that can stand up to its intensity—dark chocolate or chocolate-covered espresso beans make great companions. But the best pairing? A full-blown barbecue. Ribs, smoked brisket, saucy pulled pork—anything slow-cooked and rich will complement Lot 924’s depth beautifully. With a winemaking legacy in Sonoma County dating back to 1876, this family has cultivated vineyards across Dry Creek, Alexander Valley, and the Russian River Valley, refining their craft over generations. Dry Creek Valley, long a hidden gem for Petite Sirah, produces wines of remarkable structure and longevity thanks to its gravelly soils and sun-drenched days. Sourced from a historic vineyard where old-vine Petite Sirah thrives, Lot 924 showcases the region’s signature depth and richness—its bold character a result of expert vineyard management and the valley’s ideal climate. Typically reserved for high-end, small-production bottlings, this is a rare find that overdelivers in every sip.
