David Fulton 2009 Estate Bottled Petite Sirah (St. Helena)

Country: US / Estate Bottled
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: David Fulton / St. Helena

There’s a richness to this wine that’s immensely pleasurable, but also a meaty, umami spiciness. It’s actually remniscent of chocolate-covered bacon, infused with blackberry essence and liquid licorice, then sprinkled with black pepper. Really delicious, if a little hot in alcohol.
