Halcon is one of our most-requested producers – along with “bigger” names like Turley, Ridge, and Shafer – they make outrageously high-quality wines from the cool Yorkville Highlands appellation and keep their prices incredibly reasonable! 100% petite sirah with 94 POINTS from Vinous is something to take note of...

Also 94 Wine Enthusiast and 93 Jeb Dunnuck...this is a complex, layered, and surprisingly elegant petite sirah! Definitely read the pro reviews on this wine, but we’ve long felt that Halcon offers some of the best bang-for-the-buck in the biz today...and you simply can’t find this rare creature anywhere else!

British ex-pats Paul and Jackie Gordon fell in love with California wine and made a bold move, purchasing a remote vineyard in the hills of the Yorkville Highlands between Cloverdale and Anderson Valley. They then planted 15 acres with the help of seasoned winemakers and grape experts, such as Wells Guthrie of Copain Wines in Russian River Valley, Carole Meredith and Steven Lagier of Lagier Meredith Vineyard on Mount Veeder in Napa Valley, and Scott Shapley of ROAR. Today, these wines are much loved and fought over by those in the know! Cool climate, high elevation Mendo winemaking at its finest!

Inky blackberry and blueberry, with sour cherry and plenty of black pepper spice. There are fine herbs roasted over an open flame, black, volcanic earth, and dusty chocolate, all balanced with incredible poise and elegance – and considering the very nature of petite sirah...that’s saying something! We just got this blockbuster petite sirah in and suggest you snap up what you can! 94 points! First come, first served!!

Reviews

Vinous
The 2019 Sierra is 100% Petite Sirah from the Theopolis Vineyard in the Yorkville Highlands. It offers a super-appealing mix of inky Petite fruit and pungent aromatics in a mid-weight style that is compelling. There is a ton of varietal character in the flavors, but without the huge tannins or sheer size that is common for Petite. This is an impressive wine, to say the least.

Wine Enthusiast
There's a hint of earthy reduction in the aroma at first, but powerful, focused, vivid flavors take over on the palate, offering black-pepper, sour cherry, woodsmoke, singed rosemary and espresso notes that are smartly balanced by tangy acidity and relatively light tannins for the varietal. This ageworthy wine will be best from 2026.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Petite Sirah Tierra is all varietal and comes from the Theopolis Vineyard in the Yorkville Highlands. This deep purple-hued effort gives up juicy, ripe, savory notes of ripe blue and black fruits, peppery herbs, graphite, and candied violets. It's another pure, precise, impressive wine from Paul Gordon and his team that's medium-bodied, has good, nicely integrated acidity, and notable tannins. It needs 2-4 years of bottle age and is going to keep for 15+.
