Petite Sirah Port

Petite Sirah Port Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: This wine is another stunning example of what this underappreciated variety can do on the Trentadue terroir. This is my fourth vintage at Trentadue and it reflects better understanding of this varietal. The main difficulties in the making of Petite Sirah is controlling the tannins. Over-extraction is tempting but does not always lead to better wine. The wine has massive but soft, ripe tannins in the mouth. There is a concentrated black fruit aroma with hints of earth, leather and chocolate. This wonderfully solid wine will age well for a decade.
