ER 08 Petite Sirah

There is nothing “petite” about the Everett Ridge Petite Sirah; rather, it is all about masculine power and brawny structure. 

This dark and brooding Petite Sirah is so deeply colored that it is nearly opaque, like ink.  Aromas of leather, cigar box, sweet tobacco and charred oak suspend over a dense backdrop of blackberry fruit. Layered and chewy tannins make a big textural statement in the mouth. The intensity of fruit is supported by mouthwatering acidity for a bright finish. Though bold, this wine is not a rough or coarse: it makes its grand exit with a well-mannered display of subtle tannins. 

Try decanting Petite Sirah, especially while it is in its youth, to enjoy its full aromatic complexity. Will mellow over time and can age up to 10 years. 

Pair this robust and muscly wine with equally big foods: grilled steak, lamb sausages, blackberry-glazed baby back ribs (or the spit-roasted wild boar from your last hunt!).
