Knucklehead Petite Sirah
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Massive and full of flavors. Again, a bit too ripe and overly extracted. Not sure it’s done purposely to reduce the tannins, as the tannins in this bottle is quite mellow for Petit Sirah.
Paired well with burger.

The nose is intensely aromatic with blackberry, blueberry, licorice, dark chocolate, thyme, and menthol. A bit smoky as well. Bold flavor as usual for Petite Sirah, but feel too ripe.
I like the 17’ better.

A lovely 100% Petit Sirah bottling. Blueberry jam, ripe plum, fig, Chinese herbs, black tea, and hint of dark chocolate. Juicy and velvety on the palate with tantalizing acidity. Long spicy and sweet finish.
