2009 Kent Rasmussen Petite Sirah 750ml 3-Pack
This wine is a winner. It is immense, it will take no hostages, it will sooth, it will please, and in the end you will be pouring out your other wines because they just don’t satisfy you anymore…you will never want to drink anything but (this) Petite Sirah again. While Petite Sirah started out in France as a minor variety of the Rhone, it is no longer grown there and is only grown to a tiny extent, under the name “Durif,” anywhere else in the world. One could say that Petite Sirah, at this point, is THE grape of California. Every winemaker that Kent knows thinks of it as their favorite grape. What makes “pets” so good? Hard to say, it just is perfect—perfect fruit, perfect weight, and perfect structure, wonderful to drink young, even better to drink old.

Vendor Details
Kent Rasmussen Winery
- Founded:
- 1986
- Owner:
- Kent Rasmussen
- Location:
- St. Helena, CA
Since its modest beginnings, the Kent Rasmussen Winery has evolved into one of the most important producers in the Napa region. The winery outgrew its tractor shed barrel room on Cuttings Wharf Road in the Napa Carneros long ago. In 1995, Kent and Celia established a new winemaking facility in a turn of the century slaughterhouse, on the Silverado Trail in St. Helena. Refined over the years, it now houses business offices, an oenology lab and lab tasting room, a wine library and upgraded production equipment. The modern crusher, press, tanks, catwalks, refrigeration systems, pumps, forklift and fruit sorter have greatly enhanced winemaking options. Grapes are either estate grown or under long term contract with reliable growers.
