VINA ROBLES |
| One of only 5 BEST BUY RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS - Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, mocha-chocolate-tinged, slightly spicy, baked plum-cherry puree nose with some cedary sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, mocha-chocolate-tinged, ripe black cherry-plum puree flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary finish. At last, an award-winning Petite Sirah from Paso Robles. It has 14.9% alcohol (actually 15.1% according to their website) and 3 g/L residual sugar. So what makes this so good? Pure classic intense ripe Pasa Robles fruit along with great elevated 6.7 g/L total acidity. TONY ASPLER / 90-points / BEST BUY - Cedary, spicy, blackberry nose; full-bodied, dry, well-extracted black fruit flavours with lively, balancing acidity. Don’t miss this terrific value! |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This single-vineyard wine is an excellent Petite Sirah, inky black, soft and thick in tannins, with the most delicious mulberry, chocolate, blackberry, espresso, cola, beef teriyaki and spice flavors. Oak barrel influence shows up in the smokiness and caramelly-vanilla taste. Score - 94 (Steve Heimoff, steveheimoff.com, Jan. 2017) |
