This Petite Sirah benefits from having 22% Syrah in the blend. It’s got blackberry, blueberry, baker’s chocolate and fall spices with touches of tar and leaf in the nose, and doesn’t leave you wanting for any of those on the palate, delivering everything in a dry, balanced way that will pair well with roasted red meats or an aromatic cheese course.
