Aaron 2017 Petite Sirah
The flagship wine that started it all. Each year we taste
through every barrel one by one and select the wines to blend together
into the Aaron Petite Sirah. Specifically, it’s the barrels that, when
tasted blind, simply jump out and wow us. However, it’s never about one
specific character or flavor profile, but rather those barrels that
speak to us across all the different vineyards. Each site we work with
produces a very different style of Petite Sirah, and the goal is to
create what we feel is a “complete” wine, which in reality is quite
difficult. To check all the boxes, you need to have a lot of elements to
create the depth and complexity to really give it that ‘wow factor.’ In
total, the blend is made up of 5 different vineyards in the Willow
Creek, Adelaida, and Templeton Gap Districts, all of which bring a
different element to the blend. Deep aromatics of cherry liqueur, cassis, licorice, and smoked meats
complement a huge palate of dark fruits, pepper, spice, and floral
notes.

Philosophy Aaron is microscopic wine producer located in Paso Robles, on California's Central Coast. created in 2002 as the brainchild of winemaker and Central Coast native Aaron Jackson, the simple goal is to produce stellar petite Sirah from superior Paso Robles vineyards. being trendy or making wine for the masses is the least of our concern; we're all about pursuing passion. At Aaron, we live and breathe by our motto: "Life should be outrageous. Go Big or go home." The wines we craft reflect the knowledge we've gained for everything and everyone in our lives, as well as our desire to think outside the box and ignore boundaries. We dig in the dirt, talk to the vines, and make wine on the edge. In essence, we always go Big.
