Sorry about the long name but that is the name of the wine. When you get into special production wines, the names can get very specific. (for the record--"Petite Syrah" is the type of grape and it is not a "small Syrah" grape as one unwitting shop keeper tried to tell someone. It is a different grape altogether.)
This baby is a gem if you like big, no gigantic, no make that gargantuan, fruit bomb wines as I do when I' m in the mood. I was in the mood visiting (NW) and he served this phenomenal wine.
In the glass it is dark and dense with a black cherry color with a bouquet of black raspberry and a hint of cinnamon.
In the mouth it is unreal! It has a velvety texture with a thickish black licorice, espresso or dark unsweetened baker's chocolate flavors with an under layer of cinnamon and spice. It finishes with a touch of smoke. I really liked this wine. It is different; it is huge; and it was only $18 which for this quality of wine and all it packs is a bargain! Raise a glass!
