Saint Wine Bogle Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2022 (12 Bottles)

?Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

Our Petite Sirah is bold and uncompromising. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and black plum intertwine with masculine notes of new leather, cedar wood and smoked pipe tobacco, all wrapped in a dusting of espresso. On the palate, this full-bodied wine delivers layers of ripe blackberry, anise and spicy clove, supported by firm, mouth-coating tannins. The finish lingers with intensity, promising both enjoyment and excellent aging potential.

Appearance: Deep, dense colour rich dark purple / inky hues.

Aroma: Blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry; also notes of cocoa, mocha, new leather, cedar, smoked pipe tobacco, espresso.

Palate: Full-bodied and bold. Layers of ripe dark fruit (blackberry, blueberry), some anise and spicy clove. Strong tannins that are mouth-coating. Finish lingers with intensity.

Serving Temperature: Around 16-18 C, cool?room temperature, not too warm so alcohol doesn t dominate.

Decanting: Yes, advisable. Because of firm tannins and bold structure, decanting for 30-60 minutes helps to open it up, soften tannins, allow fruit & secondary aromas to emerge.

Cellaring: Has good aging potential. Drinkability begins now (especially with decanting), but will improve over a few years. Likely best peak in 3-7 years from vintage (i.e. around 2025-2029) though can hold beyond if cellared well.

This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of foods, such as smoked lamb shoulder with rosemary or braised short ribs with blackberry barbecue sauce.
