McManis Family Vineyards
Estate Grown Lodi Petite Sirah
Purple red, very good clarity, moderate plus pigment extraction. Vanilla and wet wood aromas with a hint of plum. Label says correctly: caramel, mocha, black fruit (maybe blackberry?). Inexpensive but tasty, decent value for a ripe (but not overripe) wine style

1 person found it helpfulApr 16th, 2022Very smooth berry with definite notes of caramel, but not overwhelmingly jammy and not high in tannins. Says it’s certified green which is all the better, but no more details on the label. Hint of mint at the end. Easily drinkable.

Dec 20th, 2022Very much enjoyed this Petite Sirah. Included my favorite flavor notes (mocha, black fruit, toffee) with a distinct acidity.
