$30 & Under - Mountain Tides

Scott Kirkpatrick (pictured above by Elaine) and Allison Watkins make nothing but revelatory examples of Petite Sirah. Scott was initially inspired by cru beaujolais but he was impressed by the playful aromas of the Petite Sirah he encountered when working in a custom-crush facility. His Mountain Tides Petite Sirahs, reds and rosé, are clearly made with an incredibly light touch and have beautiful freshness. Scott’s wife Allison is a photographer and her work on the labels makes the bottles beautiful to look at, too. They say on their website that their lives were changed forever by the 2014 earthquake in Napa Valley and it made them realise the earth was not a static thing. So now, they write, ‘our hope is to always be aware of the earth moving and to move with it. Our goal now and forever is to “be moved”.’
