Country: US / S&J Vineyard Reserve
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Frank Family / Napa Valley
Textbook Napa Petite Sirah—rich, smooth and insanely delicious. Chocolate blackberry jam, spiced plum pudding and toasty oak flavors, are wrapped into thick, velvety tannins. What a great summer barbecue wine, or with mid-winter short ribs of beef. Terrific now, and will age for a decade or more.
