سبيلباوند بيتيت سيرا

This Petite Sirah's intense dark color matches its big blackberry flavor, but it's surprisingly smooth on the finish. I opened a bottle with dinner and it was such an easy drinker that I ordered another case.

The roasted coffee note on the nose really comes through after a few minutes in the glass, and it pairs beautifully with a simple steak night. For the price, that intense dark fruit and vanilla finish feels like a much pricier bottle.

The deep blackberry flavor is so bold without being harsh, and it finishes smooth enough that I'm already planning my next bottle. This one really delivers on that intense color and bouquet without feeling like a workout to drink.
