Extremely limited, rare wine from historic 95-year old vineyard.
Roux is the nickname of my oldest daughter, Margaux, and this wine is my meditation to our relationship. If Petite Sirah is your style, grab it now as this old block only gives us a little wine each year, and cellars beautifully as well.
This is my favorite wine for "big red" meals. This is Petite Sirah for both fans of the varietal and skeptics. The density of the wine will appeal to proponents of big red wines but without any of the rough edges that can turn people off to Petite Sirah. Try it with my Bistecca alla Fiorentina recipe, a classic style of preparing steak from Tuscany.
2005 brings the trademark dark, saturated purple color from this cool, classic vintage for Petite Sirah. The nose possesses a good amount of lavender with menthol undertones. This is my cellar favorite, and wonderful partner to winter's long roasted meats and comfort foods.
