Wine Tasting Notes
As is typical of Petite Sirah the color is almost black and one is tempted to use it as ink rather than as a beverage. The aromas of cassis and jamy blackberry come with an added dimension of concentration and density. The vintage may be our biggest Petite Sirah to date, the bouquet of mocha and dark chocolate takes a backseat to the intensity of the intense fruit. Big creamy mouth coating flavors of ripe sweet boysenberry and blackberries are balanced by creamy French oak. The texture is full of thick viscous tannins, and the finish is long and lingers well after swallowing the wine. Be forewarned this is one big rich red wine.
