2021 BACA Pinch Hitter Petite Sirah
Blue/Black Fruit
Black Plum
Dried Herbs
Pepper
Our Pinch Hitter Petite Sirah gives a nod to old school California wine style. Uniquely dark and inky in color, the nose is perfumed with blue/black fruit, dark chocolate, dried herbs and black tea. The palate is lively and full-bodied with a piquant, peppery finish. A touch of Zinfandel was blended in to soften the highly structured tannin, and the expression of fruit is amplified by aging in large format oak barrels.
Barrel Aging 14 months
Paso Robles AVA
Among the diverse grape varieties in historic Californian field-blends, Petite Sirah was a favorite. First introduced to California from France in 1884, we sourced our delectible fruit from Paso Robles. Some was blended with our Zinfandel wines adding body, color and structure. But we couldn’t resist saving a few barrels to enjoy on its own!
