1 | Wine | Petite Sirah, Unrated, 2010

"Deeply inky, this wine coats the glass and lingers before the first sip has been taken. Heady aromas of boysenberries and blackberries headline the entry, while flavors of wild blueberries steal the show. Full-bodied and concentrated, seductive juniper and anise tangle with coffee and leather tones as the wine’s finish lingers on stage. Enduring and enthralling, this wine is perfectly suited for an encore."

"On the nose, blueberries, dark chocolate and black cherry are the predominant aromatics with a touch of floral and spice. In the mouth, Lot 96 tastes smooth, fruity and is very approachable with ripe blackberry, plum, blueberry and red cherry. It features well-integrated, supple tannins balanced with a strong backbone of acidity and fruit. The finish of blackberry and vanilla lingers for minutes. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats and hearty, aged cheeses."

"Our Gran Reserva Petite Syrah has a very deep purple ruby color. The nose is concentrated and rich, ripe plums, black cherries and spices notes of white pepper and liquorice. This wine is dominated by ripe black fruit aromas on the mouth the tannins are firm and balanced. Carmen GRVA PS has structure and concentration with an integrated acidity that adds vibrancy. This wine will age well for 6 years or more."
