Shop Review: Voluptuous and full-bodied on the entry,
the heady aromas of black currants and plums awaken the senses. Lusciously jammy and inky in appearance, the concentrated
fruit wraps itself around tones of pipe tobacco, leather and cocoa, to
mesmerize the palate. Juniper and spice
seduce the supple tannins, as this wine finishes long and lingering, but not
before a final touch of acidity charms the balanced mouthfeel yet again.
My Review: This dark, almost black Petite Sirah
has aromas of dark fruits and tobacco. It
had cherry and smoky flavors. It has
harsh tannins that should mellow out over time or should be consumed with food
to balance it out. I’m personally not a
fan of smokiness/tobacco, but I highly recommend it to those who are.
I had this wine
alone without any food.
