Tarrica Wine Cellars
Paso Robles Petite Sirah
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Fun to try a wine that isn’t a 9+! Previous rating would label the tarrica a bit of dud? It’s got limitations & isn’t going to challenge a $40 petit SIRAH, but this is nice, rich chocolate/cherry/blueberry fruit-forward “tues BBQ” finesse for $14? I give this wine 8.5 pts for staying <$15 & another .4 remaining smooth 2 nites later. Hell, I may throw in another .1, just because I could read the clear label at the end of the nite!
