Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Petite Sirah from Robert Foley opens with a tobacco and leather bouquet with hints of blackberry, black licorice, and dark chocolate. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is massive! It is also balanced, dense, and bright. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced blackberry and Australian soft black licorice with notes of acai berry and graphite. I also detected hints of black pepper, English black tea, and tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and bold tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this Petite Sirah with a cigar. With food we would pair this a pulled duck platter. Enjoy - Ken, Mark & Dave
Winemaker Notes: Blackberry pie on the face! This massive pitch-black Petite Sirah coats the entire palate with gripping tannin and delicious berry flavors and yet it finishes with a balance of extract and acidity that beckons another sip...I insisted this Petite Sirah block be harvested on September 26, 2020; it was only a few tons and I had another small Cabernet pick to do on the same day. This was very fortunate for us, because the following day, the Glass Fire broke out – we are so happy to have this excellent vintage!
