2009 CALIFORNIA PETITE SIRAH
In Stock
|
This inky plum colored pets displays ripe plum and juicy blueberry fruit right up front and is backed with cassis and spice. The mid-palate is full bodied with blackberry and over-ripe huckleberry that is cloaked in generous, integrated French Oak that coat the palate and finish with a velvety texture. The finish has firm yet approachable cocoa flavored tannins which will allow this wine to age well for 6-8 years. This wine is a fine choice with grilled meats such as a NY steak au Poivre with truffled mashed potatoes and steamed haricot verts. Or try dry rub pork tenderloin with a sundried tomato, bacon, spinach and goat cheese saute. Finally, a nice vegetarian option includes a wild mushroom lasagne made with ricotta, fresh basil and organic tomatoes.

"A 100%-Cabernet Franc from mountainous El Dorado County! This wine’s crazy good with tons of varietal character — woodsy tannins, touch of green pepper, vials of violets — that’s also packed with plenty of great plum, cassis and savory notes of leather and mocha, all in a memorable package. With plenty of grip and acid, enjoyed over a meal, it gets better by the minute and has the depth to age 5 - 10 years, too." - V.B.
