Burning Man Old Vine Petite Sirah
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
This is a delicious Petite Sirah from Dry Creek Valley in California.
Big, bold and rich. Fruit forward and extracted.
Showing black and red fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, spices and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
Very enjoyable by itself or with food. A great sipping wine.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel and complexity.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, and show the tannins and complexity. Even smoother after 5 hours. Spicy and entertaining.
A delicious wine to sip on by itself.
I had this vintage last year and it is still very enjoyable.
15.3% alcohol by volume.

Pnp. Big lush black and blue fruits with chocolate flavors. Big wine but easy to drink. Love these wines!

Reminds me of 98% Dark cacao dusted blackberries with a black licorice on the finish. A blackberry fruit bomb with leathery tannins.
