2017 Two Jakes of Diamonds Petite Sirah, Lake County
Tasting Notes
This wine is so amazing that sometimes we think we should just grow nothing but Petite Sirah. Although the wine has incredible color and density, the texture is surprisingly soft, round, and feminine.
Altitude is good for this variety, which does not fare well in fog, as its thin skin and tightly packed clusters make it prone to rot. In many mountain sites, bright sunlight and water stress lead to extreme tannic hardness, but our cooling afternoon ālake effectā develops and preserves an intense blueberry aroma and prevents field oxidation of anthocyanins, preserving an intense āPurple Hazeā appearance.
Our east-facing plantings take advantage of the morning sun to burn off any dew but also shelter the fruit from any raisining by the western sun. The cool 2017 vintage accentuated aromatic intensity, and we picked it on October 22nd at perfect ripeness.
The wine showed astonishing tannins and some reduction, so we employed micro-oxygenation to refine its tannins while carefully preserving its structure and depth of fruit. After three and a half years in neutral cooperage, a wine of tremendous richness and generosity came together, redolent with lavender and thyme, oozing with blueberry flavors carried by deep, silky tannins and a long, vibrant finish we attribute to our volcanic soils.
Although quite age-worthy, this wine is guaranteed to put a smile on your face right now. Enjoyable with a wide variety of foods ā steak, barbeque, or a sharp, well-aged cheddar. Or you might just enjoy it āas dinner,ā a satisfying meal in itself!
Our vineyards are located on the volcanic hillsides above the eastern shores of Clear Lake. Our grapes are some of the most sought-after in Lake County. Cooling lake breezes preserve berry flavors, while our soils confer a refreshing minerality.

My name is Jacob S. Stephens III, but everyone calls me Jake. I represent the third generation in our family to embrace the life of a farmer, following in the footsteps of my grandfather Jacob, and my father Jake II.
The Diamond Ridge Vineyardās name derives from the Lake County diamonds found on the property. Diamond Ridge is located on the volcanic hillsides north of the town of Clearlake, with the eastern shores of Clear Lake just over the hill. Elevations range from 500 to 800 meters. At this elevation, there is never any fog, and the bright cool sunlight creates conditions ideal for deeply expressive Bordeaux varieties as well as Petite Sirahs of unrivaled color, grace, and aroma.
Our site allows us to grow fruit that is comparable, sometimes superior, to our downhill neighbor Napa County, at a fraction of the cost of land. Many experts contend that the quality of fruit produced in mountain vineyards rivals that of the valley floors. We agree! As one of our avid grape clients remarked, āDiamond Ridge is without question the diamond in Lake Countyās crown.ā

Always a joyous day when Mr. UPS shows up with a Labrat bottle. Almost missed the delivery, since @cheron98 was busy on a meeting, and I was working. Looked out the window from my office upstairs to see UPS guy starting to walk away, and the neighborās dogs starting to chase him with him trying to fend them off with the box. PS. They are very nice puppers, just a little excitable. He would have been perfectly safe.
I shouted down from the window that I would meet him around at the other side by the garage.
And low-n-behold, the bottle comes to be one of our favorite varietalsā¦Petite Sirah.
Tasted it over two nights. Wasnāt sure if was going to have it that first night, so it didnāt really get much air. Popped it open, poured it through Vinturi, swirled a bit, and less then 20 min later was the first tastes.
Color: Moderately dark plum
Nose: Got some heat initially, showing itās young age. Also the fact that it had been recently opened. Also encompassed blueberry pie and I also got some white pepper.
Palate: Very light tannins, surprisingly for a PS. Blueberry and mild plum. Very fruity. Somewhat short finish with some oak.
It needs and goes well with food. First night we had it with Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice (a HelloFresh meal) and it worked well with it.
Second Night:
Similar nose, slightly less fruit. Palate feels like it has more tannins to me. The fruit is now more integrated and less in the face. Also some bramble coming through. Finish also feels a bit longer.
Definitely better tonight, having sat closed up on the counter overnight. Also had it with a grilled beef filet, that it went quite well with.
All in all, what I would consider a lighter than normal PS but still rather good.
@HitAnyKey42 Thanks for a great description. I have to say though that by measure, this wine has very high tannins but they are very light on their feet. I took advantage of the high anthocyanins to apply micro-oxygenation just after alcoholic fermentation completeness so we ended up with very short tannin oligomers, resulting in tannin structure that is refined and feminine, supporting the aromatics and presenting a full, round mouthfeel. At six years, this is a very youthful wine, quite drinkable now, but that promises decades of growing complexity.

Like a lot of Clarkās wines, the 2017 Two Jakes of Diamonds Petite Sirah needs a ton of time to breathe (like all day) but once it does, it turns into a delicious monster. Black cherry, blackberry and other dark fruit plus vanilla, spice, licorice, cedar and even more are revealed in time.
Itās actually a fascinating experiment to taste this wine right when it is first opened and then every few hours after that. Itās a great study in how a wine can open up. My only caveat is that make sure you save enough for day 2 because once you taste how good it is youāll be wishing you saved more of it!
As the wine breathes it gains balance, complexity and depth and after several hours it is really starting to reveal its deep, dark and delicious treasures. Full of rich, juicy fruit with a lively minerality throughout, it has great depth and well-integrated spice. This is a highly, highly satisfying wine!
It ends dry, very long, savory and delicious. The whole thing was even better on day 2.
3-pack was $59.99
My wife found that āthe nose is ripe cherries and raisins. On the palate it is consistent with the nose I taste raisins and cranberries. Astringent, like it needs to breathe or have some food to balance it out. Too tart to drink without accompaniment.ā
After a night on the counter, thereās a little bit of dusty oak on the nose and the flavor profile has rounded out. Not exactly more āfullā, but more balanced. The fruit profile is more blackberry than raspberry; darker and more moody than the fresh fruit vibrancy that I tasted on pop ān pour. Still has ample acidity, paired well with sharp cheddar on rosemary crackers. My wife said that it was smoother and more pleasant the next day, but still paired well with food. Given the acid/tannin profile, Iād guess that this one would cellar well and might benefit from a decant before drinking young, but donāt let me tell you what to do.
Many thanks to the Boys in Brown for their incredible feats of logistics, to Alice and WCC for pulling my name out of the hat, and to Clark and the Jakes for putting together another phenomenal wine. Iām sad to see this partnership end, but thankful that I got to play my part today. Buy all the Jakes before they are gone! Salut!
@KitMarlot A word about fruit: Iām lousy at identifying specific fruits. Maybe someone can suggest a remedial class on the subject. A lot of tasting notes suggest blueberry for petit sirah, but I just didnāt taste it. Iāve definitely noted that some petit sirahs have been more āblueā, as opposed to āpurpleā (plum, sweet cherry) or āredā (raspberry, tart cherry), but Iāve struggled to find actual blueberry flavor in a wine. Blueberries to me taste sweet, slightly āwildā with a distinct āherbalā quality, like mint or tarragon or something. One fruit I rarely see identified is cranberry, which Iām fairly certain I did taste in this wine. So please donāt read too much into my specific fruit descriptors and use this explanatory note to try calibrate your palate to my rustic interpretation.
@KitMarlot I hear that!
Cranberry - I find this most often in lighter weight Pinot Noir, both from OR and northern CA. Every once in a while it just screams ācranberryā to me, although sometimes, for me, itās easily confused with raspberry that also tastes āstemmyā.
Blueberry - thatās a harder one! The very rare time I perceive blueberry I relish it because I love wild blueberries. Twisted Oak Parcel 17 and Roche Merlot Reserve are two wines where Iāve smelled very distinct blueberry.
@dianefreda@InFrom oh, I think that Clark mentioned on a previous thread that the Jakes are going to stop producing wine and just sell their grapes in bulk.
@dianefreda@InFrom@KitMarlot Yes, that is the current plan, though you never know. It was my job either to build a 20,000-case brand that would use the whole vineyard or to solidify the reputation to build a solid grape customer base. In the former, I failed. In the latter, I succeeded.
I do hope to work with Jakeās fruit again, but in the meantime, weāve fostered long term relationships with a dozen growers to solidify our future.
@dianefreda@InFrom@KitMarlot@winesmith So youāre not going to get these Lake County grapes going forward? Not even the Cab Franc?
What additional Two Jakes wines should we be on the lookout for/are in the pipeline?
@ejrunion PS is very interesting to pair with music. Despite its size, itās entirely different from Cab Sauv, which likes dark, angry, cynical music without a trace of positivity. Think People Are Strange. PS likes valiant, hopeful music. This is because of its rich fruitiness. Think the Theme from Braveheart.

Iāve got a couple+ cases of Two Jakes wines, and thought I had some '17 PS, but no, I just saw '12s and '13s, although I didnāt do a thorough search.
For your edificationā¦
On Pop-n-Pour, the '12 was delicious. Great fruit, and drying tannins at the end, but, there was an abundance of what I call high notes, others call ethereal, at the end, making for a wonderful finish. Iām gonna let it sit for 45 minutes or so, and follow-up.
@FritzCat āThe fruit smell is amazing, better, much betterā. Very serious classy wine, old-world but with sufficient fruit. Very dry on the end. Well worth the tariff.
Ifā¦the '17 is anything like the '12, buy it.
@woopdedoo Been waiting and watching for ages for a PS offering, my absolute favorite varietal. Foiled by MIās famously stupid alcohol compliance bs (I assume). Damnit.
@whine4winez Actually, most wineries (and WineSmith), ship to Michigan. Fun fact - my neighbor was the one who argued (and lost) the interstate wine shipping case in the US Supreme Court - not unhappy with the way things turned out.
@woopdedoo I suppose Iām just going off of what Iāve seen a few different winemakers remark when theyāve been present in the comments and someone inquired about why they donāt ship here. I recall them mentioning how there are more hoops to jump through to be able to ship here. I donāt have personal experience with it. Though as someone who worked in the brewing industry for a long time, I can say that MI has some archaic laws around alcohol production and sales.
@Plenny7 UPS will accommodate either a delay, ship to a different address, or ship to a local drop off point - CVS, Walgreens, Auto Zone, etc. All done online.
@Kraxberger@Plenny7 At a āslightā āconvenience feeā (unless you have an annual My Choice Premium Plan), and alcohol cannot be redirected to many drop-off locations.
@Kraxberger@Mark_L@Plenny7
Solution: add the drop-off location as your initial CM ship-to address.
The local UPS store is my default ship-to. No rerouting necessary.
Do the same for the others.
@Kraxberger@Mark_L@rjquillin the last time I had my shipment routed to the local UPS store I picked it up about 3 days after it arrived and they told me they were just about to return it to the sender because they donāt hold them very long.
@Kraxberger@Plenny7@rjquillin The last time I had my shipment routed to the local UPS store (due to temperatures in the high 90ās), it was delivered to my house anyway. Iāve inquired and the UPS store says they will hold a shipment for 5 business days.
@Kraxberger@Mark_L@Plenny7@rjquillin My UPS drop-off is an auto parts storeā¦love those guys. In fact, I took them cookies from our best local bakery last week, and I have given out a few bottles of wine.
@Kraxberger@Mark_L@Plenny7
For WINE shipments, only;
make the store your CM default, so there is no re-routing and no other address for the driver to deliver to.
Five business days is one week for most accounting.
@Kraxberger@Mark_L@Plenny7@rjquillin UPS Store ship-toā¦been doing this for a few years. Works great! No more wondering and no more all day hot (brown) truck rides.
Ya know, FedX white trucks never got that warm
Went for a 3 pack couldnāt get my kids to split. Liked the Aspects blend from 3? Years ago and still donāt think that is close to peaking yet so I can tuck this the cellar for a while.

fwiw
Deep magenta in the glass with a slightly pinkish edge. Exceptionally aromatic, huge bold nose. It has a bright fruit mƩlange without a dominant note. Fresh raspberries, tart cherries, cranberry and a hint of something floral, like roses or violets. Deeper, bolder fruit on the palate with a generous acid streak. Plenty of well resolved tannin; all the rough edges have been made smooth. Thick on your tongue without your tastebuds standing at attention. With some time and swirling, a touch of cigar box and cedar show up but the oak is very lightly applied and nearly hidden.
My wife found that āthe nose is ripe cherries and raisins. On the palate it is consistent with the nose I taste raisins and cranberries. Astringent, like it needs to breathe or have some food to balance it out. Too tart to drink without accompaniment.ā
