Comartin 2014 Rodney’s Vineyard Petite Sirah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Rodney’s Vineyard
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Comartin / Santa Ynez Valley

Intensely dark aromas of black currant, char, roast beef and a slight bit of gamy funk show on the very masculine nose of this bottling by San Jose-based vintner Adam Comartin. There is bountiful acidity on the sip and thick mouthcoating tannins, allowing the black fruit and caramel flavors to penetrate deep into the finish.
