Alexandria Nicole Cellars
Destiny Ridge Vineyard Petite Sirah
Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Dark inky in color with a short purple rim. Teeth staining color.
Strong nose of black fruits, dark chocolates, light barnyard, light vanilla, light cedar, licorice and herbs.
Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and cherries.
This is a very nice Petite Sirah from Horse Haven Hills in Washington State. Probably my first Petite Sirah from this region.
Shows a little differently than a California Petite Sirah. The Syrah's contribution in this blend is very noticed, especially on the nose.
Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and 'in your face' kind of wine. Not for the faint of hearts.
A good quality wine, and a good wine to have with friends. Good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Syrah. Aged in (35% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$48.
