D. H. Lescombes
Item name: 
Petite Sirah Limited Release (New Mexico)
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

The nose of this red offers up a bouquet of cherry and tobacco notes. The palate is dry, slightly hot with elegant tannins in delivering a savory finish. Flavors of black cherry, anisette and umami make up this Petite Sirah’s flavor profile. Drink now or hold for additional bottle aging.
