2017 Petite Sirah, Amorosa Vineyard

Berry bursting bodacious aromas, all simmering in the hot summer sun, greet you.  On the palate, it’s blackberry and huckleberry pie, accented by red plum, red licorice, and even a wallop of wild blueberry jam. A most satisfying wine, with a plucky nose, a riot of fruit, a smooth velvety texture throughout, and a spicy finish dusted with coriander and cardamom. Pair with slow-roasted lamb shank with roasted fennel,  a ragout of eggplant, sweet peppers, and spring onions, or barbecued pork ribs slathered in blackberry jam, Worcestershire, and bourbon.
