Red Hills Lake County Petite Sirah
Red Hills Lake County, North Coast, California, USA
This is a very tasty Petite Sirah from Lake County in California.
Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.
Medium plus in body with a nice, soft mouth feel.
Showing blueberries, black cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light graphite and peppercorn.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4 year old is already drinking very nicely with nice complexity.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.
Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years, and see how it evolved.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Easy drinking and elegant.
A small production of only 150 cases.
14.1% alcohol by volume.

Drinking the 2015. It is great. Smooth long lasting tannins. Write up says a mix of black and red berries…. But I swear I have a cherry tobacco taste, reminds me of the Capt. Black Cherry pipe tobacco.
