Description:
There is nothing petite about Petite Sirah. It has traditionally been used in blends to make red wines bigger and more assertive. The Clay Station Petite Sirah was fermented warm and handled gently throughout the winemaking process, maximizing color and flavor extraction. 93% was barrel aged 12 months in both new and older American and French oak. The remainder was cellared in stainless steel to better preserve the fresh blueberry fruit character typical of the variety. This is a big, full bodied and peppery red wine with lots of blueberry character and flavor mingling with notes of ripe blackberry, dark chocolate and hints of toast and vanilla. It is a robust wine perfect for barbeque, chicken cacciatore or spinach ravioli in a meaty red tomato sauce. (12 x 75 cl)
