This is a 2007 petite sirah from Mr. T's Vineyard in the Suisun Valley. Bold floral notes with black fruits and a touch of pepper while the palate confirms the nose and adds some tart red plums to the mix. An older-than-usual petite sirah that was quite good and paired well with the variety of dishes we had tonight. We'd heard good things about the Suisun Valley and were not disappointed.

A bit light for us, but compliments the food very well! Perfect to celebrate a special occasion. :)

Love this Sangiovese. Went great with the pasta and meat sauce. A simple wine but perfect with food.
