Karen Birmingham Reserve Lodi Petite Sirah 2018
About the wine
Powerfully elegant, acclaimed Reserve Petite Sirah from your 2020 Winemaker of the Year
- This scrumptious Reserve Petite Sirah is jam-packed with refined, mouth-filling flavors of rich, juicy plum that'll have you swooning, while a blanket of warm, toasty spices lulls you in for an oh-so-cozy finish.
- With your support, Karen harvested grapes with gloriously deep complexity from some of Lodi’s finest vineyards, then aged this lavish Reserve in a special mix of French and American oak for a truly decadent, melt-in-your-mouth smoothness.
- A deep, brooding Petite Sirah like this begs for a perfectly charred, juicy burger or a generous rack of barbecued ribs. Just make sure to give the wine a nice, long breather to really let the flavors open up before you serve it – you won't regret it...
Best before
This Petite Sirah is ready to be enjoyed when it gets to your table, but will also continue to evolve in the bottle for years to come.
Serving advice
For a rich red this powerful and refined, you'll simply want to give it a good hour or so to breathe and open up before serving it, so you get the full spectrum of flavors.
Food match
Karen's favorite pairing with this red? That's easy -- baby back ribs all day.
Contains sulphites
