The Clink Petite Sirah Petit Verdot 2020
This sumptuous California blockbuster marries two powerful partners in crime, berry-packed Petite Sirah and inky-dark Petit Verdot. But there’s nothing small about this Petit(e). These super-rich grapes form the backbone of some very famous reds—but because they’re not often listed on wine labels, they’ve languished in near obscurity for years…until now.
The Clink is crafted with fruit from Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Thanks to the great 2020 vintage, the wine really shows off the concentration and decadence the dynamic duo of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot can achieve—like a silver medal from the San Francisco International Wine Competition. You’re in for layers of blackberry and blueberry flavor, plus chocolatey, mocha-spice notes. It will be a tasty match for barbecue or hearty winter stews.
A ‘criminally’ good must-try for fans of big California reds—hurry.
