Wine Review: This very dark colored purple colored wine opens with a mild black raspberry bouquet with a hint of licorice and musty oak with a hint of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and soft. The flavor profile is a gentle oak and plum blend. The finish is dry with very mild tannins. This entry level offering is a nice affordable option and good introduction into the grape. The panel suggested pairing it with a big juicy burger or sausage with peppers. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2007 Petite Sirah, Conservancy has fantastic depth and character. It exhibits a rich nose of fresh berry fruit, and the flavorful palate shows blackberries, chocolate, mocha and plums. Subtle notes of molasses, cedarwood, and ripe mulberries are complemented by soft, creamy oak tones and a smooth, silky finish. Food Pairing: Barbecued chicken or your favorite lamb recipe.
