Fantastic Petite Sirah for the price

I have had multiple vintages of this wine. It is consistant with the region from where the grape come. It offers big briary forward fruit, as what one might expect from Petite Sirah. It is a Joy to drink by itself, or with Italian food, Steak, just about any full flavored food. the wine is dark and inky in color. It breathes in scents of dark spice, anice, and lavendar.It fills the mouth with wild berries, fresh cut wood, and eucalytus. I love everything about it.
Very good flavor

In fact, the high skin to juice ratio that accompanies the small berries allows Petite Sirah to produce wines with high tannins and...
