Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
In 1968 I visited Dr. Alley at Davis because of my desire to produce a spicy, Rhone-style wine. Based on Dr. Alley's assurance that our Petite Syrah was Syrah, I commenced to work on Petite Syrah. Of course now we know that the parentage of Petite Syrah is Syrah and Peloursin. This explains the rather remarkable similarity of the black pepper spiciness of both of these wines. My tasting notes describe dark berries, herbal notes as well as earthiness. Also apparent are traces of vanilla and nutmeg. The palate is sturdy in structure and even so is already hinding of the David Bruce signature of velvety tannins with three or four years of cellaring.
