Petite Sirah
CA - Santa Clara County (Central Coast)
A bold and full-bodied wine, perfect for lovers of big, juicy reds. Its very deep ruby color, dark and inky, hints at the richness to come, with aromas of juniper, wild herbs like thyme and oregano, black plum, blackberry, and baking spices like allspice and cedar. On the palate, this wine delivers intense flavors of blackberry, huckleberry, black currant, and tobacco, all balanced by medium-plus tannins, good acidity, and a lively fruit expression. The oak influence is subtle but adds a layer of depth with notes of cedar and spice. Big and approachable now, this Petite Sirah also has the structure to age gracefully for 5 to 7 years. Pair it with hearty fare like BBQ meats, steak and fries, or Italian dishes like lasagna or risotto and bold cheeses like bleu or aged parmesan.
