The 2008 Captain Joe’s Petite Sirah, Reserve is an artful expression of this unique varietal. Aromas of nutmeg and clove, this wine is soft with a creamy mid-palate of blueberry pie and blackberry finishing velvety, smoky, and long. While ready to drink now, age-worthy wine can be held for upwards of six years.

Captain Joe’s Petite Sirah honors our founder James Concannon’s son, affectionately known as Captain Joe because of his service in the First Cavalry. Every year Captain Joe produced special wines that were shared only at the family dining table, and this wine is a tribute to his tradition. This Petite Sirah is composed from four estate vineyards; favorites of our winemaking team for their consistent quality and fruit-forwardness.
