Sharon Weeks Cattoo Shell Creek Vineyard Petite Sirah 2018
About the wine
Rich, robust single-vineyard Paso Robles Petite Sirah
Deep, dark and savory Petite Sirah drenched in plump berry flavors of juicy plum and blueberry, with a backbone of spice and a mighty, mouth-filling smoothness.
Your support gave Sharon an all-access pass to Shell Creek Vineyard, nestled in the rolling, oak laden hills of Paso Robles where hot days and cool nights help grow intensely concentrated, picture perfect Petite Sirah.
Sharon barrel-aged this bold beauty for a year in French Oak to bring you a small production Petite Sirah that’s bound to sell out as soon as it hits the (virtual) shelves. Make sure you don’t miss your share!
Best before
It is approachable now with a good hour-long decant prior to drinking, but will only get better with more time in the bottle. This will age well through 2025.
Serving advice
I recommend decanting this wine for 60 mins prior to drinking to allow it time to breathe and open up for full aromatic and flavor development. I also recommend letting all of your wines rest for a minimum of 2 weeks after receiving them to allow them time to recover from the shipping. The shipping really does impact the aromatics and flavors of the wine.
Food match
Meats, stews, braised and grilled meats, short ribs, hamburgers and barbecue of all types.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sharon Weeks
- It started as a few odd jobs in the cellar, and turned into a winemaking gig. Over 30 years later, Sharon can't imagine ever wanting to do anything else.
- Sharon's responsible for making some seriously great wines for others – thousands over her 30-year career. But she's always disappointed after the wine's shipped off... all that hard work, and she never hears what becomes of it!
- Now that you've made her an independent winemaker, she loves sharing her big, enthusiastic winemaking style with Angels – and hearing what you think!
