Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Inky and dark, this Petite Sirah is brimming with black cherries, blackberries and cassis flavors. Violet notes and hints of white pepper enchant while intense, jammy fruit stains the teeth. Stokes' Ghost is full-bodied with balanced tannins and a finish that lingers on the palate. is rich, deep wine is just what the doctor ordered.

Since its founding in 1972 by Al Scheid, Scheid Family Wines has been committed to growing the highest quality grapes from the Monterey AVA. With 11 estate vineyards and 4,000 acres of vines covering a 70-mile span, the array of soils and microclimates give Scheid Family Wines an incredible selection of wines to work with from vintage to vintage. As a family-owned winery, Scheid Family Wines remains committed to sustainability throughout operations, including 100% sustainable vineyards officially certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. In the winery, the mantra is gentle handling and minimal intervention, allowing the distinctive terroir and varietal integrity to shine.

While the namesake label, Scheid Vineyards, focuses on a broad set of varietals and blending across our estate vineyards to craft wines that exhibit elegance, richness and authenticity, Scheid Family Wines has branched out to making 4 additional brands exploring the many styles and micro-climates the Monterey appellation has to offer. Though distinctive and unique, District 7, Metz Road, Stokes’ Ghost and VDR each stay true to the core value of Scheid Family Wines that great wines are made in the vineyard.

Petite Sirah Wine

With its deep color, firm tannins and bold flavors, there is nothing petite about Petite Sirah. The variety, originally known as Durif in the Rhône, took on its more popular moniker after being imported to California in the early 1880s. Quintessentially recognized today as a grape of the Golden State, Petite Sirah works well blended with Zinfandel and finds success as a single varietal wine in the state’s warmer districts. Somm Secret—Petite Sirah is not a smaller version of Syrah but it is an offspring of Syrah and the now nearly extinct French Alpine variety called Peloursin.

Monterey Wine

Central Coast, California

View all products

A geographic and climatic paradise for grape vines, Monterey is a part of the greater Central Coast AVA and contains within it five smaller sub-appellations, including Arroyo Seco, San Lucas, San Bernabe, Hames Valley and the famous Santa Lucia Highlands. The climate is relatively warm but tempered by cool, coastal winds, allowing the regions in Monterey County an exceptionally long growing season. Bud break often happens two weeks sooner and harvest tends to be two weeks later compared to other surrounding regions.

Monterey’s coastal side, where the cooling ocean fog allows grapes to develop a perfect sugar-acid balance, excels in the production of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Warmer, inland subzones are home to fleshy, concentrated and full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.

Chardonnay, covering about 40% of vineyard acreage, is the most widely planted grape in all of Monterey County.
