Petite Sirah – 2017; Perissos Vineyard and Winery; Burnet, Texas

This 100% Estate Grown really explodes with some big flavors.  A lot of that may be attributed to the great 2017 vintage year for Texas wines. This means if you have any of these bottles for that year, savor them! You will first notice the nice inky pour followed by some big black aromatic fruit.  There is a touch of tobacco in the air for tease.  The flavor profile comes out big on cherries and plums with a touch of vanilla. There is also a hint of chocolate for an extra surprise.  The medium acidity seems to hold well for this Hill Country red wine. The firm tannins will remind you how bold this wine can be. There is a lot going for this medium bodied red, so you still have many years of enjoyment to repeat over and over if you hold on to them and cellar a while longer. Cheers!
