2018 Dovecote Thompson Vineyard Estate Petite Sirah

One of the five highest score wines we tasted overall. This is a powerful, full-bodied wine that is an intoxicating deep purple in the glass. Primary aromas of red fruit, blue fruit, pepper, and an herbaceous quality. Secondary aromas of leather and tobacco. Even a hint of tertiary aromas of barnyard and forest floor. We love the complexity and sophistication. Perfectly structured with medium acid and medium tannins. It is a dry wine that is tending ever so slightly to off dry. A full, flavorful, powerful tasting experience with a super-long finish. One of our reviewers: “All I can say is, ‘Wow’!” Outstanding.
