PETITE SIRAH

"The 2008 Petite Sirah bursts from the glass with layers of super-ripe, opulent fruit. The Petite Sirah tannins frame the wine beautifully through to the finish. This is a boisterous, intense style with an attractive combination of jammy fruit and firm structure. Hints of creme de cassis and crushed rocks wrap around the intense finish. This could use another year or two in bottle." Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
