To balance the prominent grip characteristic of Petite Sirah, this particular blend was crafted with a softer, more elegant body. This wine opens with immediate hints of blueberry and blackberry, followed by accents of Dutch chocolate and a subtle touch of cardamom. The palate is big and weighty with ample mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins. Food Pairing: Petite Filet with Cabernet Reduction. Slow-Braised Lamb with Sautéed Mushrooms. Beef Chorizo with Cream Sauce
