Estimate
A fresh fruit and pure berry expression of Petite, with flavors of raspberry, huckleberry and pepper that are crisp and refreshing, with good purity to the core of fruit, showing tobacco accents and a smoky black tea note.
Smoky, spice-laced black and blue fruit liqueur aromas are lifted and sharpened by a mineral nuance and a touch of white pepper. Offers appealingly sweet, expansive boysenberry and cassis flavors... Dusty tannins give grip to a lingering finish of excellent, spicy intensity.
Here's a polished Petite Sirah that's soft and richly tannic. It's forward with classic blackberry, currant, grilled meat, black pepper and cedar flavors...with rich stews, game and hard cheeses...
