To balance the prominent grip characteristic of Petite Sirah, this particular blend was crafter 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, velety tannins. Pairs well with petite filet with Cabernet reduction, slow-braised lamb with sauteed mushrooms, beef chorizo with cream sauce.
