Wine Review: This wine has been one of my favorite Petite Sirahs for the last couple of vintages. The 2005 "Heretic" also lived up to all expectations. This wine has an inky purple color to it. On the palate, the wine is round and rich. It has wonderful layered flavors and is very concentrated. The finish of the wine is dry and quite extended. This wine will be very popular with Syrah and Petite Sirah fans. 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. REAL LIFE…grab it!

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