Petite Sirah – 2019; French Connection Wines; Hye, Texas

There is something extra special about this single vineyard sourced fruit from La Pradera Vineyards. Could it be that it was made from free run juice? Could it be that it was aged for 22 months?  Or could it be that certain things aligned in 2019 to help make this magic happen?  Maybe all of that and more, but this inky red wine packs some elevated acidity with notes of blueberry throughout.  Add to that a bit of herbaceous notes for this dry red beast, and you have an excellent wine to pair with cheese, charcuterie, and hearty meat dishes. It is a cellar worthy bottle for the long run, so stock up and enjoy for the next decade or perhaps more.  Santé!
