One enchanting evening in the 1880s, highly esteemed Syrah and lesser known Peloursin were introduced. One thing led to another, and after a wild night in the vineyard, Petite Sirah emerged. This deep, dark, voluptuous and chewy wine is bursting with lush flavors that stand up to rich foods such as barbequed pork and beef, game meats and creamy sauces. The nose erupts with aromas of cherry pie, cinnamon, clove, delicious baking spices and hints of dark chocolate. The luxurious mouthfeel and bountiful tannins give way to intense flavors of Empress plum, smokey black fruit and underlying tones of black licorice. Enjoy this beauty now or lay it down and allow it to evolve in the bottle for years to come.
