This is a delicious blend that shows the light side of its main component, Petite Sirah, with aromas and flavors of blackberry, pepper and brown spice. The pepper comes forward in the finish but doesn’t cover the fruit. I’m thinking a bold beef ragout is a suitable pairing. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
