Main & Geary, California (United States) Petite Sirah 2013

This is a big, juicy, crowd-pleasing rendition of Petite Sirah that could work nicely as a stand-alone sipper but also serve as a perfect foil for serious meat with spicy rub or sauce.  Ripe berry fruit shows both red and black tones, and any oak influence is so subtle as to be negligible.  Although this isn’t particularly layered or complex, it proves convincing on the sheer purity and deliciousness of its fruit.  Platinum Award winner at the 2015 San Diego International Wine Competition.
