Petite Sirah
Awards:
Vintage 2013:
92 Points - Cellar Selection - Wine Enthusiast
"Built for the long haul, this full-bodied and very firmly textured wine is impressive to taste now but will drink best after 2023. Beguiling aromas touch on sweet spices, grilled meat, black pepper, blackberries and wood smoke. Concentrated, layered fruit flavors seem to coat the palate and linger on the finish." December, 2016
Vintage 2012:
92 Points - Cellar Selection - Wine Enthusiast
"Very dark, very full bodied and very flavorful, this dry wine combines aromas like blackberry jam and blueberry syrup, a rounded mouthfeel in spite of assertive tannins, and a lingering fruity finish. It will taste great now with big, meaty dishes, and is sure to improve through at least 2020." March, 2016
Vintage 2011:
88 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"With a handful of Barbera blended in, Fiddletown's Petite Sirah is intense in aromas of baked blackberry and blueberry fruit, akin to a cobbler, soft, the tannins well-integrated. Its finish curtailed mid-stream, it offers a pleasant layer of licorice throughout." April 2014
