Old Vine Lodi Petite Sirah



Nice full bodied wine with tastes of fig and plum. Slightly tannic, dark red color (even though it looks purple in the picture). Decanted for an hour. Not my favorite Petite Sirah but it’s enjoyable.

Color of shades of purple, inky in the center and lighter at the rim. Nose of nice sugarplum, sweet oak, tobacco leaves, spice, and nice residual sweetness. Taste of similar notes with addition of berry and zesty note, also peppery, while sweetness lingers all the time. Aftertaste is medium, low tannins, and some more medicinal note. Overall she is a fully loaded beauty. Smooth but just a bit too sweet for me. My rating does reflect my slow fat reservation about sweetness. Crowds will generally be pleased.

Good, but not "wow." Fruitier than I expected.

Big plum and fig starter with a chocolaty blueberry finish. This is a jammy gem with well balanced tannins and alcohol. This wine also has a bit of Merlot to mellow it out. I'd buy this again at a $13.00 price point.
