Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Massive aromas of cherries and blackberries, with touches of currants, violets, and anise - along with humongous jammy flavors of boysenberries, blueberries, and black currants - leading to a ginormous finish of semisweet chocolate! Petite? Snort!
Vineyard Notes
90% Petite Sirah, 10% Mourvedre from Tanner Vineyard
Food Pairing Notes
Steak and Eggs!
any grilled meat, even SPAM! or bacon... mmmm, bacon...
and of course french toast and custard donuts... mmmm, donuts...
Or how about a big fat ribeye steak. And a sauce for that?
Try a reduction with finely chopped shallots and carrot,
a sprig’s worth of rosemary, and a little lavender or dried Herbs du Provence.

When I moved to Calaveras County 3+ years ago, Twisted's Petite Sirah was the the first I had tasted of that varietal. It immediately became my favorite! The deep color and rich aromas make it an absolute pleasure to hold - and then you drink it and it is velvety and delicious with a long finish. I can make it pair with almost anything!(Nov 16, 2011 at 8:10 AM)
