Petite Sirah is not a wine I drink a lot of - it is not very common, often used to mix with other grapes. Add's color, depth.
Purchased this bottle at local grocery store - they are closing it out at $5 a bottle - who could say no to that?
Color - very deep - almost blueberry red in color. Dark
Scent - alcohol, some fruit, but not to much.
Taste - this is wine. Very full in texture. Sticks around in your mouth, but not in a bad way. Somehow both very dry, with tannins, but also sweet. Has acidity. Nothing to much. Not a fruit bomb, not sugary. This is not like Apothic, or Cupcake, or any of those current fruit bombs.
Recommendation - This wine is fine on the porch, but I think this big boy needs food - grilled food. Burgers, chicken, lamb. If I was grilling, I would definitely pull this out. If you can find this sub $10, do not be afraid of picking it up. At $5 - great deal.
