A Taste of Petit Syrah

2017 Adaptation Petit Syrah, Single Varietal

Location: Napa Valley, California. 🏽

Rich, Storied, Balanced and Beautiful. Bold magenta color with deeply pigmented staining. A rustic aesthetic of light sediment and concentrated pigment give way to neatly juxtaposed aromas of  blue and black fruit. On the nose, sweet butterscotch and brown sugar. Ripe Japanese plum on the mid palate finished with a subtle black peppercorn and cocoa finish, restrained tannins and balanced acidity both candid and classic, a full-bodied expression of the varietal.

TASTING NOTES:

• Deep ruby core w/ magenta rim

• High intensity, high concentration

• Deep blue and black fruit

• Cedar, butterscotch, sugarplum, blueberry

• Ripe Japanese plum, tart red plum, black pepper, cocoa

• Drink now or rest until 2035

This Petite Sirah will pair nicely with a Cocoa and Chile infused Oaxacan Molé Poblano or Mexican Molé Negra, Persian Pomegranate Fesenjoon, or of course a classic Cast-Iron Seared Ribeye Steak  finished in the oven with rosemary butter and potatoes.
