Meyer Petite sirah 2011

This is Meyer's take on Petite Sirah — a dry red wine out of California from the 2011 vintage. Petite Sirah (Durif) is a robust red grape that yields inky, deeply tannic wines with concentrated dark-fruit and pepper flavors. California is America's wine engine, where warm, sunny valleys ripen generous, polished wines across just about every style you can name. This is your steak-night, lamb-roast, hearty-stew kind of red. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
