Pestoni Family
Mountain Vineyard Petite Sirah
Deep Inky in color with a very short purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black cherries, cedar, dried figs, cooked raisins, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, mocha and black pepper.
Full bodied, smooth and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and coffee.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Petite Sirah from Lake County in California.
A good wine to pair with good company and a great sipping wine.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Needed an hour to calm down a bit.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolved.
Fruit forward and big. Rich and extracted. Spicy and entertaining.

Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, pencil lead, light vegetables and earth.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a nice Petite Sirah from California. Nicely balanced, fruit forward and jammy, with mild complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Drinking nicely now and will be better in the next 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, but really needs 90 minutes to open up properly and show those pretty tannins.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
