Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Petite Sirah from Biale opens with a red plum and moist pipe tobacco bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very smooth. The flavor profile is a mild dark cherry, graphite and oak blend with notes of gentle red plum and cola. The finish is dry and its soft tannins build-up and last for a very long time. The Panel suggested pairing this Petite Sirah with a New York strip steak. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Saturated deep purple ink color, dusty stony notes of minerals, dark rye bread, dried blueberry, chocolate cake, lavender, espresso, full/broad grippy mouthfeel, lingering fruit finish. This muscular Petite Sirah is pleasurable now and built for a long run – optimal drinking in 7-10 years.
