Wine Review: This pitch black colored Petite Sirah was well received by the panel. It opens with a ripe boysenberry bouquet with a hint of blackberry, earth, and leather. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and generally a fruit bomb. The flavor profile is an extracted blackberry jam with notes of black pepper and a touch of oak and tart cherry. The finish is dry and its tingly tannins linger for a bit. This wine would pair well with beef stew or sharp cheddar cheese. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Color: Intense garnet Aroma: Spicy, black fruit with notes of nutmeg and fig Taste: A full bodied, balanced wine with dark ripe fruit and silky tannins
