Lodi Petite Sirah

A blue fruited Cali— I mean, it’s really really blue fruited, blueberry & boysenberry. It’s all presented in a svelte, medium acidic, low ABV envelope, but I found it to be a bit dull after a while, not because I didn’t like the flavor but because it didn’t evolve at all.

From organically farmed Bains Vineyard in Lodi AVA, vine age is approximately 40 years, 100% whole cluster, carbonic ferm in stainless, aged for 10 months in neutral French oak. Deep Ruby with funky nose. Wine has major flaw. Unfortunately I cannot get another to try. Pass on this one!

Great, very dry, almost smoky petit Syrah. Deep plum color.

Still has some green pepper going on. Not bad.

10/2023. Ok.

Strong, heavy, slightly sweet berry flavor, complex enough to drink on its own but simple enough to pair with cheese without overpowering the food.

Carbonic, light body, dark fruit and tannic
