Wine Review: This opaque and onyx colored wine opens with a blueberry and mild oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic, and juicy. The flavor profile is a mild red raspberry and plum blend with hints of cherry-cola, black pepper and oak. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are slightly prolonged. The panel suggested pairing this very nice Petite Sirah with barbecue steak tips or meatballs. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Pop the cork and be instantly greeted by the scent of black cherry, nutmeg and vanilla before the glass even meets your lips. Enjoy the smooth, surprisingly velvety tannins that only the hills of Paso Robles can deliver, while flavors of rich, deep fruit and toasty, caramelized creme brulee envelop your palate like the most luxurious (faux) fur throw.
