Description:
Petite Sirah has intense nose and color when picked early, but is a bit dull on the fruit side and hence works as a good blender. Picked late at 28 brix as this monster was, it develops an intense, almost chewy chocolate-like quality and some real fruit complexity. We tend to avoid late-pick reds as the overripe fruit and high alcohol tends to obscure the complexity of the fruit, but Petite Sirah seems to come into its own when made like this. It is bone dry, has hints of intense black berry fruit, roasted cocoa, green apple, sweet blueberry, crème brulée and rose petal with big tannins. We like it served slightly chilled with brownies for desert.
