Clayhouse 2013 Old VInes Rio Cedar VIneyard Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Old VInes Rio Cedar VIneyard
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Clayhouse / Paso Robles

A solid and nuanced sip of this varietal for a fair price, this bottling of older vines from Paso’s eastern flanks shows plump elderberry and cedar on the elegant nose. A smoked-chocolate flavor hits the palate, bolstered by blackberry syrup, white pepper, bay leaf and dried basil, with plenty of both tannin and acid.
