Take a moment to look at the dense color of our 2019 Pergola Petite Sirah. We’ll never argue that looking at wine is more fun than drinking it, but the visual aspects can offer insight. Behind this inky veil, is a wine full of juicy, fruit-laden personality. We employ a long, slow fermentation by keeping the temperature low. This allows for a gentle extraction of tannin while keeping the bright, fruit character intact. 10% of this blend was aged in new American Oak barrels resulting in a hint of vanilla that plays beautifully with the flavors on the mid-palate. This is a great bottle to open for pairing with a main course of grilled steak. Afterwards, should you have some left in the bottle, it’ll be a versatile companion for cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
