Clarksburg Petite Sirah
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
This wine was a PNP, supposedly is 90% petite sirah and 10% syrah. The color is a deep dark purple that is clear. The nose was very tight and closed up initially. After sitting in the glass for around an hour it started with hints of grass. Then really began to open up with hints of black currant, hard sweet candy, and some vegetal notes that with iron like spinach. Within the palate there are some moderate rounded tannins, which lead to moderate and smooth finish. Additionally the tannins began to increase and open up with time. As for taste, it has a very fruity start that of black cherry. Overall I was impressed with this petite sirah. We were trying this out to see about its QPR. So I bought this bottle for $21.00 at a small wine shop near me just to try it out. The QPR is amazing on this wine, especially if you look at wine-searcher it goes for $9.98!

Dense purple in the glass. Massive structure with dense blue and black fruit flavor. Spice hints on the finish. Outstanding value here at under $15 per bottle.

Intriguing winery story. Smooth, peppery, subtle tannins.

I like it! I don't like the first sip, but I like it afterwards.

Didnt knock my socks off but enjoyable. For ten bucks it was very respectable and I would buy it again.
