Winemaker Notes: 

"This classic Russian River Valley Petite Sirah sports a nostalgic new-car nose, tinged in simmering blackberry compote. It is generously textured with clove, dark currants, and espresso, balanced with a smoky mesquite, ending in a long, white pepper-laced finish. Pair with barbecued ribs, brisket or tri-tip from the smoker and almost any tangy spicey tomato sauce-laden meat or vegetarian dish. For fromage: aged manchego and sharp cheddars."
