McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2007 
California $19.95 
Big, bold and bursting with flavour, this full-bodied and generously textured behemoth (think spicy well-textured Zinfandel) offers up spiced berry fruit and hints of smoke on the lifted nose. The warm sweet (14.5% alcohol) rich and juicy flavours include mulberry, black Bing cherry and gobs of black currant jam. The finish rolls on forever along with a layering of rich dark chocolate. Pair this with spicy smoked and grilled back ribs. For daily delivery to your home or office by the case in Eastern Ontario, e-mail Lauren atThis email address is being protected from spambots.
