Winemaker Notes
Buckle up for a Petite Sirah that’s equally elegant and powerful. A seductive stunner, Suite Petite brings sultry flavors of bursting blackberries, blueberries, anise and a delightfully subtle hint of cacao and baking spices. With balanced tannins and a full mouthfeel, this is one you won’t soon forget!
Pair with braised beef short ribs, chicken mole, or a blue cheese burger with caramelized onions.
Blend: 85% Petite Sirah, 8% Syrah, 7% Grenache

Tasting Panel
Supple tannin's and blueberry marked with dark chocolate grace the palate, complementing the fresh perfume of blue fruit that’s characteristic of Petite Sirah. Roasted coffee and soy sauce add savoriness. The result is not the teeth-stainer and -gripper one may expect from this variety.

Wine Enthusiast
A dense cassis aroma manages to be both ripe and balanced by floral undertones on the nose of this affordable offering. Hearty flavors of black currant and blueberry are spiced by caramel, vanilla and mace, providing a thorough experience.

The concept of Chronic Cellars came about in the midst of harvest in 2004. We had used the term "The Chronic" to describe likable objects before, but we had never considered it a suitable descriptor for wine. We sat alongside the crush pad one evening in our wine stained clothes and wet boots laughing about the idea of a wine that targeted a casual lifestyle.
Jake and I were raised in the heart of Paso Robles wine country. Wine and the art of wine making have been a part of our lives since the early 80's. After graduating from college we both returned to Paso Robles and joined the team at Peachy Canyon Winery. After a decade each of immersing ourselves in all aspects of the wine industry we decided to do our own project. We wanted to try something new and put the tools we have gathered to work on our dream. We had a vision and a desire to make our statement in the wine industry that we could not deny. After four years we took our first step toward Chronic Cellars.
From dream to reality, our first wines went public in 2008.
