2020 Mr Big Petite Sirah

If you take a short 500-meter jaunt directly north of the wine cellar you will come across vineyard block 17, a very special little section where our “Mr. Big” Petite Sirah is grown. Besides the quaint size of this block, there is nothing else “petite” about this wine. Mr. Big is all about power. Big color, big fruit, and big texture. This wine is inky and dark purple in color. Bold aromatics of blueberry, dark cherry, smokey dark plum, and cocoa lead to a powerful, mouth-coating palate full of cassis, cedar, licorice, espresso, and slice spice. Velvety, chewy tannins lead to an intense, long, dense finish. This wine needs to be paired with big, rich, fatty foods such as a Swiss cheeseburger, black pepper beef stir fry, or vegetarian black bean chili.
