Richard Bruno PETS Clarksburg Petite Sirah 2017
About the wine
Powerful, plush Petite Sirah - a special-edition release from an expert of Clarksburg
- This limited-release Petite Sirah is a masterclass in decadent dark fruit flavors, with complex layers of ripe plum, blueberry and a dash of peppery spice, all rounded off by a rich, lingering finish.
- Richard harvested his grapes from Clarksburg, a cool-climate hotspot for high-end Petite Sirah. Richard’s been making Petite Sirah from this vineyard for over 20 years and has narrowed down exactly which rows of vines produce the highest-quality fruit – which he turns into wine for you!
- This bottling of Petite Sirah is a special selection from Richard’s own company Vinum Cellars. Richard only has a little over 300 cases of this Petite Sirah to share with Angels – blink and you could miss it.
Best before
This wine was designed for generosity and consumption in the near term, as it is finished in a screw cap, but will continue to age through 2025.
Serving advice
It should be ready to drink right out of the bottle, but will definitely improve with decanting and/or aeration for 30 minutes.
Food match
Pork chops and/or pork belly would be great pairings with this Petite Sirah. It's also nice with steak au poivre and frites, or any other steak off the grill.
Contains sulphites

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
