Special Notes About Region/Varietal

This 2023 Petite Sirah is sourced from the renowned Agape Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA of Washington State, a region celebrated for producing powerful, age-worthy red wines. Situated along the Columbia River, Horse Heaven Hills enjoys long, sunny days and cool evening breezes, creating ideal conditions for Petite Sirah grapes to develop deep color, concentrated dark fruit flavors, and firm tannins while retaining balanced acidity.

The vineyard’s well-drained sandy loam soils and steady winds contribute to smaller berry size and thicker skins, resulting in wines with intense flavor, structure, and aging potential. This combination of climate, soil, and meticulous vineyard management allows Cellar Beast to craft a Petite Sirah that captures the bold, full-bodied character of this varietal while showcasing the unique terroir of Horse Heaven Hills—a region increasingly recognized as one of Washington’s premier red wine-growing areas.
