2018 Sonoma Valley Petite Sirah

£32.00

Full-bodied with a dense red-purple hue, this wine opens up with aromas of fresh berry cobbler, orange zest, leather and tobacco. On the palate, lush flavors of huckleberry, dark cherry and bittersweet chocolate are interlaced with nuances of cracked black pepper and hickory smoke. These fruit-driven flavors are balanced with a smooth texture, supple tannins, vibrant acidity and a warm, spicy finish.

Moderate summer temperatures with fewer heat spikes than previous vintages allowed for a relaxed pace, excellent development of flavors and retention of natural acidity. A later harvest produced wines with structure, acidity and balance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”FOOD PAIRINGS” tab_id=”1497942435768-a2771e4b-8863″][vc_column_text]Enjoy these generous flavors with blue cheese, juicy tri-tip sandwiches, barbequed baby back ribs, slow roasted stews, flourless chocolate cake or fine cigars by the fireplace after dinner.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ACCOLADES” tab_id=”1497942617493-09f53e22-1d0f”][vc_column_text]93 POINTS, THE TASTING PANEL 2017 Vintage
