Grape Varieties: Petite Sirah
Grape Varieties: Petite Sirah
Obtained from: Purchased at DC Steakhouse
Price: $46.00 - Restaurant price, about $23 retail.
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: My iPhone flash made it look like a glass of black ink... it wasn't quite that dark - but it was very dark purple with a pinkish rim.
Aroma: Lots of fruit - blackberry mostly, vanilla, some pepper, and some dark chocolate.
The Grade: I give this one an A. Sometimes it is tough to find a good steak wine for under $50. This wine is not too complex, but big enough to stand up to a good steak and some blue cheese. I would order this wine again without hesitation on our next DC Steakhouse excursion.
