Description
93 points ~ Wine EnthusiastTasting Notes:
This vintage is the archetype of Petite Sirah. A small crop yielded intense fruit and enduring tannin. Drink now if you want a “BIG” wine. Otherwise, age for 20-30 years. Right out of the bottle, deep, rich aromas of black cherries, a plum galette, and licorice combine with the complex aromas of violets, cedar, nutmeg, and vanilla. Two years in barrel have added some heft to the tannic framework. The Petite Sirah shows best when decanted to allow it to build to its full potential.
