Tasting - Ironstone Petite Sirah

Variety: 96% Petite Sirah, 4% Souzao
Region: Sierra Foothills, California
Country: United States of America
Year: 2009
Price: $13.95

Winery Review: If you love a big, red wine, our 2009 Petite Sirah is a “must have”. Succulent and rich, its rich, deep, dark purple inky color leads way to bold aromas of warm berry pie and loads of blueberry mixed with vanilla and a light pepper spice. Its full flavor of lush berries mixed with dark chocolate, warm cedar and vanilla gives way to a delightfully smooth finish with moderate tannins.

My Review: This wine provided a unique blend which I had never enjoyed before.  The nose of the wine imparted aromas of cinnamon, chocolate, and spices.  This dry wine had a fantastic finish that left a lasting taste of spices.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
