L.A. Cetto Petit Sirah 2022, Guadalupe Valley, Baja California, Mexico: From Baja’s sun-soaked Guadalupe Valley comes L.A. Cetto’s Old Vines Petite Sirah—a $15 marvel.

Fresh acidity slices through the richness, making it a perfect partner for a loaded meat-lover’s pizza or grilled sausages. Petit Sirah food pairings: lamb cutlets, hamburgers, espresso and cocoa-rubbed flank steak, black bean soup, cheese. Drink: 2025 - 2027 983742 14% XD 750 mL $14.95 Score: 89/100. August 2025.
