Tasting Notes
The 2022 Block 126 Petite Sirah exudes aromatic notes of raspberries and herbal tea, with a hint of baking spice. Prevalent tannins lead the palate, balanced by blueberry and plum fruit flavors, with a smoky, spicy finish. This impressive food-pairing wine almost encourages you to enjoy it now, especially when paired with rich, savory dishes, but if you’re in no rush, we recommend letting it rest for a couple more years.
