100% Petite Sirah

This Petite Sirah from our estate is quite the treat! It is full bodied and robust with ripe yet subtle tannins and an intense inky black color. The ripe fruit of boysenberry jam, cassis and currant is softened by the soft sweetness of dark chocolate brownie, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This wine is expressive with great acidity and a soft creamy finish that offers an elegance that is not ordinarily found in this varietal.

This wine is a symbiotic balance of fruit, acid and tannin, promising at least 5-8 years of aging potential in ideal conditions. With additional bottle aging you will see the tannins soften and some deep cocoa flavors develop.

Petite Sirah pairs well with BBQ’d baby back ribs, grilled marinated portobello mushrooms or Vella Cheese Company’s mezzo secco or dry jack.
