Winery Review: Five generations of family farmers have strived to grow quality grapes with outstanding depth of flavor. Our winemaking team then crafts the fruit into character driven wines for everyday enjoyment. Our Petite Sirah is a full-bodied, delicious wine, with notes of chocolate, caramel, toffee, and rich black fruit on the nose and palate. The mid-palate is led by mocha notes that carry through to the long, luxurious finish.
Vivino Rating: 4.0 stars
Wine Folly: Pg. 147: Petite Sirah. Petite Sirah is a bold wine with deep flavors and vibrant tannins. It is mainly high in body, alcohol, and tannins, and is low in acidity and sweetness. Main tasting notes for a typical Petite Sirah are sugar plum, blueberry, dark chocolate, black pepper, and black tea.
My Review: I thought this wine was nice! Based on smell, I thought that this wine would be super tannic, but after tasting it, I discovered that the wine was actually not super tannic or acidic in a way that it overpowered the mouth feel, which I appreciated! The main tasting notes that I got from this wine are black cherry, plum, chocolate, and maybe even a hint of smokiness. I also tried this wine with a milk chocolate covered salted caramel candy. This was pretty good, I thought that the candy brought out the chocolate taste within the wine, but having dark chocolate would have been even better!
