Deaver 2012 Petite Sirah (Amador County)

Country: US /
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Deaver / Amador County

In a flight of incredibly dark, rich and mouth-coating wines, this one stood out as especially concentrated and high octane, but well-balanced. It smells and tastes like perfectly charred steak, dark chocolate, blackberry jam without the sweetness and spices like clove and cardamom. It’s so tempting to drink now, but will be best after 2020.
