Black Tie Charlie California Petite Sirah Syrah
California, USA
These two varietals would not lead you to believe how jammy and full of fruit this wine is...yummy with or without food!

Arrived & opened,
All 3 are in the Crowd Pleaser category to me, the instigator which is 100% syrah is probably the one that will hold up the longest, its a little tighter with not much of a finish at this time, not as sweet as the other two,
For a an average price of $35.00 these will work great for an everyday wine especially for non wino parties.
i.e # Austin hope, Micheal David & Venge Scouts Honor.
I’ll take these over those, but don’t confuse these with Top, Fulldraw, Booker, Saxum, Law Estates. Different category of wine.
All 15.5 to 15.8 abv

Petite sirah/syrah flight. Love this blend.
The fact that this sub-30 dollar wine holds up against the other more expensive 3 says something. By far the most aromatic. Big big wine. Half sierra foothills syrah (estate which goes into the brawler) and half livermore petite sirah (down the street from my place). Previous vintages have gotten 92-94 pts wine spectator/wine enthusiast. Not bad for a 27 dollar wine.

Will do a side by side with the 2015 when i get home but this seems a bit more elegant than the 2015.

Jun 16th, 2018Decided to pop this open since we were talking to Ron (prospect owner/winemaker) on the phone today about planning our wedding there. Looking forward to the first 100% petite sirah from livermore coming out this fall (which makes up 1/2 of this blend). Also looking forward to the new 2017 instigator syrah which will be from shake ridge ranch.
