Darkly colored as you might expect from the Petite Sirah grape, this vintage from the Trappist monks at New Clairvaux shows off the modern expression of Petite Sirah with exquisite balance and supple tannins. A steal at the price, and a Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
