Miro Coyote Ridge Vineyard Reserve Petite Sirah 2021

Miro Coyote Ridge Vineyard Reserve Petite Sirah 2021 is a powerful, small-lot California red wine crafted by acclaimed winemaker Miroslav "Miro" Tcholakov. Sourced from the tiny, dry-farmed Coyote Ridge Vineyard located in the heart of the Dry Creek Valley, this reserve bottling is produced from low-yield vines that deliver exceptional flavor extraction. In the glass, it displays an opaque, inky-black color with vibrant violet edges. The aromatic bouquet is intensely concentrated, offering explosive notes of blueberry-ginger jam, ripe dark plums, and black cherries, seamlessly interwoven with nuances of cocoa, warm baking spices, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich, and velvety, delivering a dense core of spiced bramble fruit, sweet licorice, and espresso that is beautifully framed by firm, polished tannins and a balanced acidity, culminating in a long, powerful, and structured finish.

Food Pairing: This robust and ink-dark red pairs beautifully with slow-smoked beef brisket, barbecued pork ribs, pepper-crusted ribeye steaks, or wild boar ragù.

The aroma of concentrated blueberry-ginger jam explodes from the glass of this inky-black, velvety wine. On the palate, spiced blackberry-plum jam and licorice flavors pack a wallop. Grill up a rib-eye and go to town on this heady stuff.
