    Animale 2016 Reserve Petite Sirah (Yakima Valley)

    All of the fruit for this wine comes from McIntire Vineyard. Aged in neutral French oak, the aromas are perfumed, with notes of Stargazer lily, lavender, sea breeze and blue fruit, with the palate showing plenty more of the same. It's a flower bomb. The flavors are polished and pure, bright and fresh with the acidity bringing a sense of vitality. The floral aromas steal the show on an otherwise interesting wine. Pair it with seared halibut with a huckleberry relish.
