Relic Petite Sirah is well-made but so strong it is hard to pair it with any food or drink it alone. It starts with intense sweet fruit, followed by earthy flavors, and finishes with smooth tannins but burning intense acidity. The alcohol level is just too high and I don’t believe even steak would be a good pairing. This Petite Sirah would work only with lamb, venison, or other strongly flavored meat. Even after 13 years and hours of air, it is so strong it will overpower anything else.

Still going strong. Very nice, with roasted meat, purple fruits and white pepper.
