Wine Review: This very dark opaque purple colored Petite Sirah opens with an aromatic black currant like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very approachable for a Petite Sirah. The flavor profile is an easy to drink juicy black raspberry and black currant. The finish is quite dry and its moderate tannins stick around for quite some time. This wine would pair well with barbecue short ribs. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: NOSE: Blackberry jam, molasses, rounded smoky oak, violets, and rose petals provide for a rich, full-bodied nose. MOUTH: Textures of rich tannin explode on the palate with the weight of dark berry fruit. FINISH: A medium length finish of toasted oak, coffee, and chocolate.
