Fully black/purple in color, the 2021 Petite Sirah La Storia is concentrated and ripe, with notes of black plum compote, blackberry jam, lavender, and scorched earth. Meaty and full-bodied, this chewy, dense wine fills the palate with roasted notes and gripping tannin. It is robust and meaty and will be best enjoyed over the next few years. It demands some seriously rich steak and fatty braised meats to pair alongside it.
