772 | Wine | Petite Sirah, 2011

"While very dark in color the hue is vibrant and youthful. The nose has an abundance of ripe black fruits, predominantly Blackberry and Boysenberry. Oak aging has contributed a pleasing mélange of rich creamy caramel and maple syrup scents, with just a barely perceptible waff of smoke. The dense viscous liquid delivers all of the flavors one would expect from the aromatics. Savory and luscious the finish pleasantly persistent."

"The 2011 Guenoc Lake County Petite Sirah has intense aromas of red raspberry, licorice and baked blueberries. The wine has a medium body with melt in your mouth tannins and layers of spicy complexity. A refreshing acidity on the palate contributes to an extraordinary long finish which echoes the delicious flavors throughout."

"Dark purple in color, this 2011 Petite Sirah shows aromas shows black rapsberry, dark cherry compote, blackstrap molasses, toasted cedar plank, and sweet leather. The flavors start sweet and then get darker on the finish. This blend starts with blueberry pie, blackberry, sweet cinnamon, fresh fig, and fire roasted poblano chilies then finishes with molasses, smoky oak, savory Mexican oregano, and dried black cherry."
