Clayhouse 2009 Red Cedar Vineyard Block 87 Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Red Cedar Vineyard Block 87
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Clayhouse / Paso Robles

Despite the fancy name, this is a pretty standard wine. It’s dry and acidic, with the big tannins that mark Petite Sirah. The blackberry flavors are rich, but cloaked in bitter astringency. Doesn’t seem worthwhile to age it, so drink up.
