The inaugural vintage of Petite Sirah has aromas of cherry, raspberry, clove and molasses. The entry is soft and silky, with deep, dark flavors of blackberry jam, cassis and pie filling. The finish is long and velvety, with subtle hints of toasted oak and graham cracker.
Pair with roasted meats, BBQ and a hearty stews.
