Wine Review: This rich dark purple wine is almost black. This wine has an intense bouquet that grabs you into trying it. On the palate, this wine is wonderfully smooth, rich, intense, and very flavorful. On the finish it is dry and a bit lengthy. A fine effort and a big crowd pleaser at my September wine tasting. Enjoy, I did. Ken

Winemaker Notes: As the creator of Heretic I beseech, implore, demand that you SCREAM at complacency (merlot). CRUSH conformity (cabernet). LIVE a life less ordinary…BE the Heretic…drink REAL wine (eclectic alternative varietals). Old vine Petite Sirah: Big, rich layers and layers of black fruit and spice. LOOK, it’s there just beyond your peripheral vision. REAL LIFE…grab it!

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Petite Sirah.
