The 2019 Petite Sirah is deep, powerful wine, but with a bit less of the unctuous opulence of the past. Inky dark fruit, lavender, chocolate and black pepper all meld together. This friendly, heady Petite sure has a ton to offer. I would prefer to drink it on the young side, while the flavors remain vibrant.

Brooding aromas of black plum and cassis meet with nutty milk chocolate scents on the nose of this bottle. The palate is thick as expected for this grape, with big berry and violet flavors. A tight acidity keeps it all in check.

Lastly, the 2019 Petite Sirah Rodney's Vineyard is all variety and comes from the estate vineyard in Santa Barbara County. Its deep purple hue is followed by a big bruiser of a wine that's loaded with ripe black fruits, chocolate, gravelly earth, and sappy herbs. It's textured, medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and great balance. It certainly delivers everything you would want from this variety.

Founded by Eli Parker at the turn of the last century, Epiphany was at first intended as a creative outlet for the then adventurous winemaking son of Fess Parker. As the years progressed, Eli assumed the role of Brand Visionary, paving the way for winemaker Blair Fox to assume the enological reins at the winery. The Epiphany portfolio has become a highly coveted selection of mostly Santa Barbara County- designated Rhone-inspired wines, considered by leading critics to be a flagship producer from this vibrant growing region.
Epiphany has transformed into a leading, contemporary producer of Rhone-based and esoteric varietal wines from the Central Coast, and a meaningful representation of the second generation of the Parker family name, and their continued dedication to ultra-premium wine production on the Central Coast.
Sought after by chefs, sommeliers, retail buyers and consumers alike, the Epiphany brand has distinguished itself among the wine cognoscenti as a trustworthy, quality-oriented and forward-thinking wine brand.
