Wine of the Week: Vina Robles Petite Sirah 2005 (CA) $26

Wednesday November 14, 2007

Vina Robles has produced a beautiful Petite Sirah. This is a full-bodied, full-flavored, full-colored red wine that can certainly hold its own. The flavor profile speaks of dark fruit, particularly plum and blackberry spring to the top of the palate while the subtler voices of vanilla and peppery spice sing in the background. This is a ritzy wine find that is more than suitable for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner selections. Additional preferred pairings include rich sausage, prime rib and grilled entrees.
