Wine Review: This very dark purple colored Petite Sirah from Four Vines will appeal to fans of their Zins. It opens with a fragrant black raspberry bouquet with a hint of cigar smoke. On the palate, it is medium bodied, balanced, and very fruit forward. The flavor profile is a ripe black raspberry with hints of black pepper and black cherry. The finish is quite dry and its dusty and tingly tannins linger for quite sometime. The panel suggested pairing this wine with barbecue steak tips. 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. The finish goes on for miles (ok, for minutes) with smoky char and BBQ notes with undercurrents of decadent, juicy boysenberries and nutty toffee that linger in the depths of this black as night Paso Petite. Food Pairing: Braised Prime Rib, Roast Duck, & Pot Roast.
