Petite Sirah

It’s dry and tannic, yet opulent in sweet oak, raspberry, blackberry, plum and chocolate fruit, with a long, spicy finish.

Delectus Vineyards’ 2006 Petite Sirah isn’t for the faint of heart due to it’s
vivacious aromas of Marion berries, white pepper, burnt caramel, teriyaki beef
jerky, black olives and French vanilla ice cream.

Aromas are ripe black currents with hints of sweet vanilla. Palate has a soft entry with flavors of dark plum and currant that leads to a supple finish.

Dark berry flavors dominate the mid-palate with just a hint of coffee and pepper accompanying the strong but balanced tannins.

Powerful and exuberant, full of cloves, coffee beans, mouth-coating tannins and a bit of minerality. The rolling finish is lengthy and satisfying.

Mouthfeel is rich, ripe and round and packed with flavors of dark fruits, toasted coconut, and peppery spice with firm but approachable tannins.
