black and thick, this petite sirah delivers on all the variety's attributes in warm-climate california. it's blisteringly gregarious yet rounded, with smoky dark-fruit flavors that are initially hard to capture and tannins that verge on puckering. but time rewards—this wine hits its stride after being allowed to open and swirled around a few times. enjoy it with a rich risotto or rack of ribs.
