What makes for great Petite Sirah? Bright flavors of black and blue fruit, a little red raspberry, soft fall spice, a touch of earth, all of which are able to manage the grape’s wild natural tannins. It’s all here in this bottle, and it’s quite approachable now, though it will continue to gain elegance with age, quite possibly for the rest of your life. There’s that "E" word with a Petite Sirah. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
