Country: US / Estate
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Zichichi Family Vineyard / Dry Creek Valley
There’s an unripe streak that mars this otherwise fine Petite Sirah, with its blackberry fruit. It’s not just the black pepper, it’s a note of green tannins that’s pretty subtle, but it’s there, and lowers the score. Hard to see the wine developing.
