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 weightโ€”blackberry 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.
