Introduction:
Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah is a remarkably refined expression of this traditionally bold varietal. Sourced from Enver and Joe Salman’s vineyard in Clarksburg, this Petite Sirah balances intensity with elegance, offering a velvety texture and deep fruit character. Aged in 100% new French oak, this wine delivers a rich complexity, seamlessly integrating its tannins for a smooth, luxurious drinking experience.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberry, and cassis, with warm notes reminiscent of a triple-berry pie.
- Palate: Luscious dark fruit complemented by creamy toasted oak, with hints of nutmeg, caramel, and chocolate.
- Finish: Soft and supple, with a lingering richness of fruit and a creamy, almost sweet caramelized depth.
Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with braised short ribs, grilled lamb, or wild mushroom risotto. Its smooth yet bold profile also complements aged cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, and roasted game meats, making it a versatile choice for an indulgent dining experience.
