Wine Review: This wine is a rich purple wine. On the nose, the wine is on the mild side. On the palate, the wine is smooth, creamy and intense. It dries out the palate. The finish is dry and smooth. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This very rich and extracted Petite Sirah shows ripe brambly blackberries, violets, and vanilla and cracked pepper in the bouquet. The flavors are dark chocolate, currants, and creamy blackberries. A very long aftertaste of cocoa and currants is evident. This is not just Petite Sirah, it’s an experience. Pair this head-turning beauty with Dijon cornmeal crusted rack of lamb or herb marinated pork chops.
