2021 Foppiano Estate Grown Petite Sirah [JS92][WE90][WS90]

"Plenty of blackberry, graphite and bark aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and very typical for the grape variety. Creamy tannins and a delicious finish." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"Deep, opaque and purple in the glass, this blackberry-scented Petite Sirah feels nimble, even soft on the palate. Dark fruit, licorice and purple-flower flavors dance on a ribbon of nervy acidity that balances the rich tannins." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"A zesty, old-school Petite Sirah, with energetic blackberry, licorice and mincemeat accents that perk along toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2021 Petite Sirah is a sophisticated and sumptuous example of the varietal, one of the most complex examples of Petite Sirah you will find. Blueberry and baked huckleberry lead the aromas, with a hint of white pepper, dried herbs and toasted bread. The flavors mimic the aromas with a substantial mid-pallet of blueberry, black tea, baked cherry, fruit preserves and licorice. The wine finishes with pie crust, oak spice and tannins developing into a pleasant textural polish."
