Flavor Profile
Jake and Elwood Blues (aka, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) slammed into the cultural consciousness when they debuted as musical guests on Saturday Night Live. Their chart-topping album was followed by a feature film, The Blues Brothers, in which they embark on a mission from God to reunite their band and save the orphanage where they were raised.
Crafted in celebration of this legendary film, our limited-edition red stars Petite Sirah. Also known as Durif, Petite Sirah is “a grape that takes no prisoners” (Tim Atkin, MW), prized for its inky-dark color and richly concentrated flavors. And the intensity dial was turned way up, thanks to the excellent 2019 vintage. Yet another in a string of superb California harvests, 2019’s long, warm growing season ripened the Petite Sirah grapes to flavor-packed perfection.
Look forward to sumptuous, dark-fruit notes (think plum, fig, blueberry) plus structured tannins and a lengthy, satisfying finish. Guaranteed to hit a high note on its own, this full-bodied Petite Sirah is also delicious with juicy burgers, pizza and more.
The perfect red for kicking back with a great film (or some great tunes). Order your share today.
Classic Movie Pairing: The Blues Brothers (1980)
