Terra d'Oro Petite Sirah 2018

The nose boasts aromas of blueberry pie, clove, black olive and mocha before giving way to steamed milk, rhubarb, violet and floral notes. The palate is focused and captivating with generous, rustic tannins, pepper, cream and blueberry compote. The flavors are complemented by an elegant, lingering finish.

This inky-colored, massively structured wine fortunately has ample ripe, almost jammy, black-fruit flavors to fill out its richly tannic frame. Blackberry, dark chocolate and blueberry syrup notes soften the texture and linger on the finish.
