Ballentine 2013 Fig Tree Vineyard Petite Sirah (St. Helena)

Country: US / Fig Tree Vineyard
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Ballentine / St. Helena

With tiny additions of Syrah and Petit Verdot, this thick, syrupy, full-bodied wine is black in color and brimming in bacon, salami and coffee, with smooth, tempered tannin. It’s more meat and earth than fruit, with a baked quality throughout.
