Profile & Story
Black Velvet 2021 Petite Sirah Casa de Vinas Vineyard, Livermore Valley 100% Petite Sirah
Tasting Notes
Blessed with smooth tannins that are truly succulent, this is a lip-smacking rendition of Livermore Petite Sirah from one of the region’s finest vineyards. Blueberry, sage, earth, graphite and a touch of molasses herald a robust wine, brimming over with ripe blueberry pie, tangy summer blackberries and raspberry syrup. Aged in neutral and once used French and American Oak for 33 months.
Pairing Recommendation
Pair with mushrooms stuffed with sundried tomatoes and sausage; BBQ’d pork ribs; Bolognese sauce with tagliatelle or pappardelle
