It has been a while since I’ve reviewed a Petite Sirah. If fact, it’s been way too long and as I tasted this wine, I was reminded of how much I love Petite Sirah. The rich flavors, deep color and silky feel are incredible. And who better to revisit this variety with than Concannon. After all, they were the first winery to varietally label Petite Sirah in the US back in 1961.
The name on this particular release from Concannon, “Conservancy,” is a nod to the efforts the winery has made to protect their vineyards from urban sprawl. In 1996, Concannon was the first Livermore Valley vineyard to place its land into a permanent conservation easement. Other vineyards have since followed suit to ensure that urbanization doesn’t threaten Livermore Valley as a wine producing region.
