What reviewers say
“Easily my favorite wine. It has a really deep rich flavor that will only work for you if you like really intense wines - but it's DELICIOUS. You get some wine lipstick at the end too!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A potent Suisun Valley Durif (Petite Sirah) that balances dark intensity with mellow elegance. Deep notes of blackberry, blueberry compote, and dark plum are layered with mocha, violet florals, black pepper, and savory bay leaf. Medium‑plus bodied with silky, dusty tannins and bright acidity, it has a long finish with a whisper of dark chocolate and tobacco. Pair with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, pepper‑crusted sausages, or pepper steak – a robust, refined companion for hearty fare.
