2018 Mounts Petasera Estate Petite Sirah
Tasting Notes
This powerhouse, opaque Petite Sirah is bursting with black and blueberry fruit with a touch of anise. Flavors follow and include savory meat characters, spice, and blackberry jam. The mouth coating tannins leave you with a long, lingering finish. Well built, complex wine that will benefit from cellaring.Vineyard Designation
