Tasting Notes
This medium-bodied Petit Sirah displays a deep garnet hue with purple edges in the glass. The nose opens with an intensely fruit-forward bouquet reminiscent of homemade jam, showcasing ripe blackberries and black cherries complemented by subtle black pepper spice. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavors dominate with layers of blackberry and cherry, while hints of cacao and gentle peppery notes add complexity and depth. The finish is smooth and lingering, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasant cocoa undertone that invites another sip.
