Looks like purple mountains majesty. Smells like sweet blackberry/blueberry, with a knob of tangy dirt. This juicy North Coast petite sirah tastes like it smells: big and fruity, cut with some dense earth, like biting into a two-days-past-fresh fallen apple. It just rolls around the mouth. A lush easy chugger, 14+% alcohol, tannic with a puny finish, I drank this on its own and that's the way it probably tastes best. A nice alternative to a mid-priced Aussie shiraz, though overtly American.
Price: $13.99 (Gary's Wine)
Closure: Real cork
