Epiphany 2013 Rodney’s Vineyard Petite Sirah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Rodney’s Vineyard
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Epiphany / Santa Barbara County

Fresh-pressed blackberry, cedar, dark-chocolate shavings, charcoal and espresso grounds show on this slightly wound up, extremely dark wine. Coffee flavors come through strongly on the thick and sticky palate, where powerful acidity unleashes blueberries and dried herbs. It’s a mouthful for certain.
