Grape Varieties: Petite Sirah
Obtained from: Purchased at Total Wine & More
Price: $25
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: The wine is clear with a dark purple center and a pink rim.
Aroma: Lots and lots of blackberry, pepper and even a bit of roasted coffee.
Taste: Very fruity, a nice amount of tannins but well balanced.
The Grade: I give this one an A. Really a great Petite Sirah, right up there with wines costing $20+ more than this one. Young and quite tannic, so you can stock up and age a couple of these, but also enjoy a bottle or two now!
