There
is no drop to waste with this Napa Valley Petite Sirah wine blend! Crafted from
fruit from 100-year-old vines, this blend of 70% Petite Sirah, 20% Zinfandel, and
10% Carignane is a bold one to relish with a melding of wonderful flavors. At
just a mere 8 years old, it is still quite young. Before starting the first sip, decant for a
good ninety minutes and then some to allow this beauty to unfold. There is an
elegant garnet color pour for this fruit forward treat. A bit of herbs will
greet you on the nose along with moderate oak notes. The flavor is bold with
tart cherries blended with strawberries and blueberries. It is still a bit
tight, and the acids and tannins are still showing their strength. There is a little vanilla lingering around to
round out that full flavor profile. This big bold red wine blend is a keeper
for sure. If you have multiple bottles,
it is worth continuing to cellar and open another one in a few more years to
see how this lovely one continues to evolve. Definitely worth enjoying again.
Cheers!
