Chacewater 2013 Petite Sirah (Lake County)

Country: US /
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Chacewater / Lake County

This is a full-bore, concentrated and tannic wine that lives up to the reputation of a not exactly “petite” varietal. It starts with smoky black pepper aromas, then offers concentrated blackberry, dark chocolate and charred meat flavors, along with a rich wrapping of fine-grained tannins. Best after 2020.
