2008 California Petite Sirah
Beginning with the classic inky-dark color of Petite Sirah, this wine unfolds with aromas of ripe crushed berries and an appealing black raspberry component. Big and bold, our Smoking Loon Petite Sirah comes through strongly with blackberry and red raspberry on the palate, backed by dutch cocoa and spice. The finish has an earthy edge, partly from the skillfully integrated Marchive French oak, a high-quality French oak that lends rich complexity without overwhelming the other flavors. The wine opens beautifully in the glass, revealing hints of cassis, cherry, and a gamy quality from a small percentage of Sirah blended in. A powerful and well-balanced wine, this Petite Sirah is a perfect fit in the Smoking Loon family.
Our winemaker would pair this wine with pork chops, grilled peaches and shaved Manchego cheese with an arugula salad, or enjoy it with a good, handmade burger made with Worcestershire and a glaze of Mia’s Kitchen Balsamic Reduction sauce.
