2020 Sandy Lane Petite Sirah: A Harvest Season Masterpiece
The 2020 Sandy Lane Petite Sirah is a bold yet beautifully balanced expression of its namesake vineyard, where sandy soils and warm Contra Costa breezes shape a wine of richness, depth, and energy. This vintage captures the essence of fall with its brooding fruit, warming spice, and plush texture—a wine equally suited for cozy dinners, harvest gatherings, or fireside conversations as the seasons turn.
Tasting Experience
Pouring a deep ruby hue, this Petite Sirah opens with inviting aromas of blackberry compote, black plum, and dried cherry, accented by notes of cinnamon, clove, and toasted oak. On the palate, layers of dark fruit mingle with hints of cocoa, leather, and earthy minerality, delivering both depth and vibrancy. Firm yet velvety tannins give structure, while its lingering finish carries whispers of baking spice and autumn warmth.
Fall Pairing Suggestions
This expressive wine shines with hearty seasonal fare. Pair it with braised short ribs, roasted duck with cranberry glaze, or herb-crusted lamb to highlight its depth and spice. It also complements classic fall dishes such as butternut squash risotto, wild mushroom ragù, or root vegetable gratin. For a casual spread, enjoy it alongside aged Gouda, blue cheese, or charcuterie rich with smoked meats and spiced nuts. Whether at a harvest table or a fireside gathering, the 2020 Sandy Lane Petite Sirah brings a sense of comfort, richness, and celebration to autumn meals.
