La Storia Petite Sirah 2022

The La Storia Petite Sirah 2022 is a bold, expressive, and fruit-forward New World red wine that imposes a dramatic and powerful presence in the glass. It pours an inky-dark, completely opaque purple colour, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of concentrated blueberries, crushed blackberries, and violets, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of cocoa, graphite, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla from oak barrels. On the palate, this full-bodied red wine is remarkably smooth, dense, and rich, coating the mouth with pure, velvety intensities of spicy blue fruit, black pepper, and a lovely streak of balanced acidity. Matured carefully in new oak barrels to enhance its structural depth and savory complexity, its structural crunch is sustained by surprisingly soft, engagingly plush tannins that carry into a long, persistent, and beautifully measured finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with casual or premium red meat fare, including barbecued ribs, slow-roasted lamb chops, braised short ribs, grilled smoky brisket, gourmet beef burgers, and hard or aged cheeses like Gouda or Manchego.
