Santa Barbara Winery 2013 Thompson Vineyard Petite Sirah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Thompson Vineyard
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Santa Barbara Winery / Santa Ynez Valley

One of the few Petite Sirahs grown in Santa Barbara County’s cooler climate, this bottling offers tart boysenberry, wild sagebrush and lean graphite touches on the nose. The tannins are sticky, although the body is relatively light, showing violet floral notes and earthy minerality.
