Estate Petite Sirah 2017
This Element 79 favorite is not your typical Petite Sirah. It has all the velvety deep purple extravagance you can expect and has some unexpected twists that is bound to impress. The nose presents with soft notes of black cherry, sweet tobacco and a hint of campfire smores. The palate doesn't disappoint with the supple flavors of blackberry, spice and a splash of bourbon barrel. The balance of acidity and dusty tannins with a plush yet layered mouthfeel lend to a long finish.
