Tasting notes

Bold and fruit-forward, the Cycles 2010 Petite Sirah is effusively fragrant, with exotic spice, white pepper and blueberry aromatics that hint of the richness to come.

The generous flavors are supported by a firm tannic structure, excellent balance and a long, luscious finish. This Petite Sirah would pair well with the richness of sautéed foie gras or a lovely duck confit as well as roasted meats such as lamb or prime rib.
