Stags Leap Petite Sirah 2005 (California)

Producer: 
Stags Leap
Item name: 
Petite Sirah
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

The nose offers a bouquet cassis and cherry. The palate is tight with moderate tannins, as this wine is young but readily drinkable. Dry, fruit forward, flavors of unctuous dark cherry, cocoa and licorice await. Expect a long finish. Try this red with your favorite chocolate!
