| TASTING NOTE: Yet another example of California working wonders with the oft-overlooked Petite Sirah grape. Deep, warm fruit serves up blueberry pie, dark cherry, blackberry, vanilla and sweet hickory. It's dense and opulently fruity (keep in mind the "Petite" in the name refers to small grape size, not small flavours!) with a sense of raw power to the tannins. Enjoy till 2015+ with meaty stews.
