Another unexpected pleasure. I'm used to thinking of petite sirah as an overly tannic, dark purple, fruity, teeth staining juice. This was not that. It had aged, tannin softened, matured dark blue and marion berry. It was pleasant, still teeth staining but supple, purple blueberry juiciness. Make sure it's 10+ years old and then pair with any grilled meat with berry fruit sauce/side.
