The 2019 vintage has a deep purple color with a magenta hue. The aromas feature ripe concentrated dark fruits including cassis, boysenberry and black raspberry. Aged in 100% new French Oak, the bouquet delivers scents of mocha, malt, and dark chocolate. On the palate, supple savory flavors of concentrated black fruits meld with those of mocha and sweet vanilla laden toasted oak. The ripe grapes that 2019 vintage provided has translated into a wine with a viscosity that coats the mouth with a luscious creamy texture. We have gone to great lengths to keep the tannins in check and the result is a full satisfying finish. Most folks pair Petite Sirah with big hearty stews and braised meats. This is fine, but I have no qualms about enjoying this wine by itself, often as a liquid dessert.
