Silk Oak Petite Sirah 2009 (about $13)






About the Wine:  Petite Sirah is a close cousin of Sirah and Shiraz.  Traditionally used as a blending grape, Petite Sirah is starting to come into its own as a stand alone varietal.  It is usually bold and fruity.

About THIS Wine:  An opaque center fades to a purple rim in the glass.  The nose is thick with luscious red fruit and spice.  The fruit delivers on the palate with lots of jammy raspberry and cherry.  Round tannins make a nice finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This is a good sipper for those who like bold, fruity wines.  It would also pair well with sweet meats.

Overall Impression:  Drinks like a twenty dollar bottle.  This wine is a great value.
