Bold Suisun Valley Petite Sirah balances power with surprising finesse.
The nose opens with concentrated blueberry compote and dark chocolate ganache, followed by violet florals and cracked black pepper. On the palate, this 2016 delivers serious concentration without overwhelming weightโblackberry liqueur mingles with licorice root and espresso bean undertones. Firm but polished tannins provide excellent structure, while the finish lingers with warming spice and dark fruit intensity. Peak drinking through 2028.
๐ท You want a powerful red that doesn't sacrifice elegance for intensity, perfect for winter evenings by the fireplace.
Pairs with: Braised short ribs with rosemary, Grilled portobello mushrooms, Aged cheddar and dark chocolate, Venison medallions with juniper
