Eighty Four 2009 Petite Sirah (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Eighty Four / Napa Valley

Given four years in 100% new French oak and another year in bottle, this is a blockbuster of a wine. It’s huge in every way, from its intensity of coconut, vanilla and milk chocolate to its dense, chalky tannins. It may need time to come around, its sheer weight impressively wrapped in blackberry and blueberry jam.
