Cockamamie Calaveras County Petite Sirah Syrah 2010
About the wine
Wine of the Week
- Dark and inky, Jeff wasn't clucking around when he made this bad boy.
- Angel funding is allowing Jeff to use his winery to its full potential and he's paying back the favor with awesome wines at exceptional prices.
- There's only a few hundred cases of the 2010 so grab a bottle of this before all the Twisted Oak fanboys (there are thousands of them) pile in and grab this wine out from under you!
Best before
Quite drinkable now but we could see this age another 2-3 years at least.
Serving advice
A little breathing will help open up the aromas and flavors. I prefer to enjoy a wine over a period of time and let it develop in the glass but decanting is always fine.
Food match
Petite Sirah is always fabulous with cured pork products like bacon and sausage - but it's not just for breakfast! With this PS we like to get some local Table Mountain beef - usually a nice rib eye - and grill it up.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jeff Stai
- Jeff is a self-taught geek who has won so many shiny gold medals, his trophy rack might trigger a second gold rush.
- He left his tech industry job to make wine over 10 years ago and he says the hardest part of making wine is paying the bills. That's where the Angels come in.
- With Angel funding, Jeff's able to get the best grapes in the Sierra Foothills and explore the full potential of this exciting region of California.
