WinePostings told you.
Appearance: dark purple body with a purple rim
Right after opening:
Aroma: reminds me walking into a winery, fresh grapes galore
Flavors: rich dark berries, dark soil earthy tone with a firm oaky presence, soft white pepper
One Hour after Opening:
Aroma: the big fresh grapes are still on the scene, little smoky note, earthy tones, faint spice
Flavors: big bold dark berries, dusty cocoa, rich soil, the oaky note has mellowed since the opening,
Mouthfeel: thick on the palate, bold flavors, tannins and acidity are under control on this four year old bottle.
My Strength Rating: 8 –full
Just opened the bottle and started to write a review and then I saw that I had reviewed this wine before.
ReplyDeleteI was consistent with what I said on this review. This is a tasty Petite Sirah. If I see this wine again - I am picking up 6 bottles.
I think I'll do a cigar pairing with this wine.
