per bottle
Still Jackal's bigger, badder brother! Petite Sirah complements the Zinfandel with a hint of Carignan in this blend making it the richest Zin in our repertoire. Intriguing notes of aged cedar, red currant and milk chocolate on the nose. Layers of marshmallow and graham cracker. Black plum, warm French toast, maple and creme brulé on the palate. Evocative of s'mores on a warm summer's night! If any wine is the perfect pairing for a juicy rack of ribs, we have it here folks! Will age wonderfully for 2-6 years.
