This robust Petite Sirah from Sicilia Vineyards showcases the bold character of this varietal grown in the unique terroir of Fair Play.
 
Appearance: Inky purple with deep crimson edges, promising a wine of intense concentration and depth.
Aroma: An enticing bouquet unfolds, likely featuring ripe blackberry and blueberry, complemented by notes of black pepper, perhaps a hint of violets, and subtle undertones of dark chocolate or espresso.
Palate: Expect a full-bodied wine with a rich, velvety texture. The palate may reveal layers of concentrated dark fruit flavors, including blackberry jam and plum, potentially accented by notes of mocha, licorice, and a touch of savory herbs. Look for firm, grippy tannins providing substantial structure, balanced by the grape's natural fruitiness and a subtle acidity that keeps the wine from being overly heavy.
Finish: Long and powerful, with lingering impressions of dark fruits, spice, and a pleasant tannic grip that speaks to the wine's ageability.
 
This Petite Sirah would pair excellently with bold, flavorful dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb shanks, or rich vegetarian stews. Its intensity also makes it a captivating wine for solo contemplation.
