Alex and Ryan Present: Rudy's Petite Sirah 2016
About the wine
A special dark red, loaded with lip-puckering flavor - from a region you'll love
- This is a stick-to-your-ribs Petite Sirah from a winemaker with a pristine reputation for predicting the “next big thing…” like this cool-climate mega-red from Suisun and Mendocino.
His name is Rudy von Strasser – he’s the founder of Napa’s prestigious Diamond Mountain AVA. His historic Napa winery and tasting room just got bought out, so he needs to find a new way to show the world his wines...
Enter Alex & Ryan – two Naked HQ winemakers in charge of sniffing out unique wine opportunities. With your funding, they swooped up a new incredible wine! “We passed all those beautiful vineyards and thought, we gotta do this,” says Ryan. You’ve gotta taste it!
Best before
Open this wine today and you'll enjoy freshness and dark, ripe fruit and lip-puckering tannin right up front. If you age it until 2020 it will mellow out and become the kind of wine you can sit back and relax with
Serving advice
Ryan likes to talk in an old timey radio announcer voice when he opens this wine and says "Alex and Ryan Present... Rudy von Strasser! We recommend decanting for 30-45 minutes!"
Food match
BBQ tri-tip (or a clean grilled sirloin tip steak) and some herb-crusted grilled eggplant

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Alex Farber
- Alex's first job out of winemaking school was for a famous Napa Valley winery. She absorbed its classic traditions and techniques, but she knew her own dream – to make classic wines joyous and modern – would be years away.
- Most young winemakers have to work 10, 15, even 20 years to earn a Winemaker title. Alex's big dreams weren't going to wait, so she asked Angels for a jumpstart, and they launched her into the big leagues.
- It was a clever investment. Not only is Alex one of Naked's top winemakers, she's earned Best in Class, Double Gold and Gold medals for her independent wines produced with your support. And she's just getting started!
