Maggio Petite Sirah 2021 750ml

This red wine is strong and intense, with black fruit flavours, thick tannins, and a tinge of spice. These features make it an excellent complement to substantial dishes like grilled meats and rich pasta sauces, improving the overall dining experience. It’s a full-bodied wine with a lengthy, warming finish, so it pairs well with substantial dishes like ribeye steak or venison.

Oak Ridge Winery has only been producing wine since 2002, but the Maggio family has been growing grapes in Lodi since the 1920s, so they know their way around. With 1,000 hectares under vine, they are no little operation, but they have kept things in the family. Rudy Maggio, who purchased the winery, runs it alongside his three children. Their Maggio line is the true crown gem, earning them a well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality varietals. Oak Ridge is a large but family-run establishment that is both traditional and ambitious.
