Once & Future Napa Valley Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard 2022

$6499

Joel Peterson founded Ravenswood and effectively wrote the modern playbook on California Zinfandel. After selling Ravenswood, he started Once & Future to get back to the small-lot, old-vine, sensitive-to-site work he loved in the first place. As Joel puts it, Napa would be famous for Petite Sirah if it weren't for Cabernet. Palisades is a narrow vineyard tucked under the cliffs east of Calistoga, planted to old 8x8 head-pruned vines that deliver black-fruited, structured, deeply spiced Petite Sirah. Native yeast, open fermenters, hand punch-downs, French oak. Old-school Napa from the source.

"The 2022 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard builds beautifully, with layers of dark fruit, leather, licorice, black pepper and herbs that are all amplified. There’s gorgeous structure and persistence to the 2022—a wine that impresses with its fabulous balance and stylishness." —Antonio Galloni
