Petite Sirah (the grape also known as Durif) tends toward deep color, firm tannin, and dark fruit, and it has found a comfortable home in the warm vineyards of Lodi, where Mettler Family Vineyards farms this 2021 red in California's Central Valley. Expect a full-bodied, inky style built around concentrated blue and black fruit, the kind of wine that rewards a hearty plate at the table.

This wine is concentrated with aromas of blackberry, clove, toasty oak, violets and earth on the nose. The flavors on the palate are mulberry, black currant, pink grapefruit zest, dried herbs transmuting into tobacco leaf, espresso and grippy tannins. Decant for an hour and enjoy with grilled meats.
