Occasional Wine Note: This is one of the few wines we carry from the Sierra Foothils. We love Petite Sirahs from California, and feel this is a great representation of both the grape and the region. We love the ripe dark fruits and cocoa notes here. There's an underlying hint of licorice that adds just a bit to the experience. Great mouthfeel and scrumptious through the finish. Oh and it's a pretty solid value too!

A bit shy on the nose, this full-bodied red opens up on the palate with notes of blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, red and black plum, chocolate, vanilla and licorice. Elevated (16.2%) alcohol is balanced by the ripeness and voluptuousness of the fruits and the firm tannic texture.
