2013 Petite Sirah

Intense, seductive aromas of spicy blackberry threaded with mocha-laced oak fill the nose. The slightly chewy entry offers a concentrated blend of brambly blackberry, wild blueberry, and bright cherry mingled with traces of espresso dusted with dark cocoa. Still youthful, this delicious wine will benefit from decanting if enjoyed before 2019, and with additional bottle aging, it will evolve into an elegant beauty.

Pair this robust wine with a hearty meal of lamb shanks over creamy polenta, or a classic pork stew.
