Fiddletown Cellars
Amador County Petite Sirah
Amador County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Wow! For a bold wine, this goes down easy. The wine is very dark in color. The aroma is peppery smoky and fruity. The flavor is warm adult barbecued jam festival which lingers awhile. It begs for a complicated, put-the-beef-on-thick burger.

Ahh Amador wine that isn’t Zin. Dark like a purple mulberry. Smells heady and ripe with a plum meets hot chaparral vibe. Flavors are fine. Simpler. Has a nice aftertaste of baked fruits. Like a berry sauced baked apple. Pity of that Petite tannic bite, but not olives, coffee beans, and sawdust in the mouth like certain P.S. out there. This is good, just not spectacular.

Feb 22nd, 2022Another day in the pandemic.. another bottle of wine. I purchased a whole case of 2014 Fiddletown Cellars Petite Sirah when I read an article saying this wine was affordable and would age well. Tonight we gave one of those bottles a try... perhaps a bit early, but, even now, the wine is quite nice! It is inky dark. On the nose the slight dark fruit smell is pushed aside by the smell of peppery bay leaves (the greenness may be an indication that wine will be even better with more time). But, as stated, the wine is going down smooth tonight, even with it’s pronounced tannic structure, or is accessible and food friendly.
