Newsome-Harlow 2007 El Portal Petite Sirah (Calaveras County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Petite Sirah
Winery: Newsome-Harlow / El Portal

It’s hard to make Petite Sirah smooth and elegant, but Newsome-Harlow has done it. The wine shows classically fine tannins, while the flavors run toward milk chocolate, ripe blackberries and lots of crushed black pepper. Delicious and refined, a great wine for peppersteak.
