A penumbra is the shadow cast by the earth or the moon over an area experiencing a partial eclipse. It’s also a fitting name for this exclusive Petite Sirah, with its inky, glass-staining purple color and deep, concentrated flavors.
Penumbra hails from California’s premium Paso Robles, which “ranks among the most dynamic wine regions anywhere in the world,” reports Vinous.com. And thanks to the “outstanding” 2016 vintage, “there has never been a better time to be drinking Paso Robles wine.” Petite Sirah’s star is also on the rise—plantings are up 13% over the last five years and it even has its own fan club, PS I Love You.
One sip of this gorgeous release, and you’ll taste what all the fuss is about. It offers rich blackberry, black plum, blueberry, and sweet spice characters. On the palate, more deep black fruit flavors are woven together against a backbone of ripe tannin. Delicious alongside juicy steaks, red-sauced pastas, hearty stews and more.
A top-vintage Paso Robles red that’s deep, dark and delicious? We said, “Yes, please.” Now, it’s your turn.
