    Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah - Delectable

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: September 26, 2020 Last Updated: May 25, 2021

    A perfect 10 Saturday Splurge! We review the Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah.

    Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah - Delectable

    100% Petite Sirah from the Salman Vineyard in Clarksburg, California. The wine spends time in 100% French oak and just 2,042 cases were produced.

    Sample submitted for review. The wine has an SRP of $28 (Saturday Splurge) and can be found for around $25.

    From the bottle:

    Joe & Enver Salman - Growers
    Jeff Runquist - Vintner

    The Salman Vineyard produces exceptional wine with intense color and deep rich flavors.

    Produced & Bottled by Jeff Runquist Wines
    15.2% Alcohol

    The 2017 Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah begins with a very pleasing aroma of vanilla, caramel and spice plus some dark berry fruit.

    Taking a sip reveals blackberry, black currant, tannic goodness with quite a bit of oak influence. Smooth with a substantial mouthfeel, this full-bodied wine has fantastic depth of flavor. This is some absolutely delicious Petite Sirah.

    It ends with a wonderful, dry, grippy, long finish. I've run out of superlatives to describe this one but needless to say it gets a perfect 10 on our Taste Rating scale. Is this an under-appreciated grape or what?
