Page Springs Estate Vineyard Petite Sirah Wine Details
Price:

Description: he 2008 vintage was pretty cool and wet, especially for our Estate Vineyard. While this didn't bode well for our Syrah, the Petite Sirah is, once again, a superstar. Every year, I'm amazed by what a delicate wine we get from these grapes. Less jammy and intense than a lot of the burly California Petites, it is more floral with delicate spice, myrrh and softer tannins. These inherent site characteristics are enhanced by our decision to pick these grapes earlier, avoiding excessive concentration and the monochromatic fruit profile of some later-pick Petites.
