2018 Petite Sirah

2018 Petite Sirah
The 2018 Petite Sirah has a striking deep ruby hue with intense aromas of blackberry, vanilla, mocha, and black mission fig. The palate features black fruits, chocolate, espresso and a touch of baking spice. This full-bodied wine is incredibly balanced with soft, mouthcoating tannins, bright acidity and a luxurious finish that lingers. Drink now or cellar for 10+ years.
