Dense, brooding Petite Sirah with compelling dark fruit intensity and savory complexity.

The nose opens with concentrated blueberry compote and dark chocolate shavings, underscored by violet florals and cracked black pepper. Dense and muscular on the palate, this wine coats the mouth with layers of blackberry jam, anise, and cocoa powder. The tannins grip firmly without overwhelming, while bright acidity keeps the richness in check. A lingering finish reveals hints of licorice and espresso, suggesting excellent aging potential through 2027.
