This bold Texas red combines two powerhouse varieties in perfect harmony, creating a wine with serious character despite its playful name. Captivating aromas of red chili flakes and strawberry rhubarb pie create an intriguing aromatic profile that leads to rich flavors of ripe blackberries and luxurious black plum. The equal marriage of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot delivers intensity and structure, while the balanced oak program—utilizing both American and French oak with predominantly neutral barrels—adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit's natural vigor. This robust wine demands equally bold pairings and excels with adventurous dishes like chicken fried venison backstrap, where its power matches the rich, crispy preparation, or alongside miso pork tenderloin, where the wine's spice notes complement the umami-rich glaze while its dark fruit flavors enhance the meat's natural sweetness.
