2020 Sandy Lane Vineyard Petite Sirah

2020 Sandy Lane Petite Sirah: A Harmonious Symphony of Summer
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 spirit of summer with its vibrant fruit, velvety structure, and seamless integration—a wine equally suited for outdoor feasts, sunset toasts, or starlit celebrations.

Tasting Experience
Pouring a deep ruby hue, this Petite Sirah opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, lifted by notes of warm spice, vanilla, and a whisper of smoky oak. The palate reveals a dynamic layering of red and black fruit, enriched by undertones of leather, baking spice, and earthy minerality. Soft yet structured tannins provide a plush mouthfeel, while its long, smooth finish leaves a lasting impression of elegance and harmony.

Summer Pairing Suggestions
This versatile wine is an ideal match for flavorful summer fare. Pair it with grilled tri-tip, smoky barbecue ribs, or herb-marinated lamb chops to complement its bold fruit and spice. It also shines with charred portobello mushrooms, roasted vegetable skewers, or a Mediterranean-inspired eggplant dish. For more casual pairings, enjoy it with Manchego, aged cheddar, or a gourmet burger topped with caramelized onions. Whether gathered around a firepit or hosting a festive garden dinner, the 2020 Sandy Lane Petite Sirah brings sophistication and depth to every summer table.
