Large, luscious and desirable, this 2004 David Bruce Petite Sirah displays a deep burgundy hue color and on the palette with nice spicy and earthy tones offering intense tannins, blackberry and burnt cherry flavors. Its food pairing is extremely versatile – couple with grilled meats, spit-roasted lamb, an assorted cheese platter, or any dish accompanied with mushrooms, which would bring out the earthiness of the wine.
Rating: Very Good (88) | $20 | 13.9% ABV
