Earthquake 2008 Petite Sirah (Lodi)

Country: US /
Variety: Petite Sirah California
Winery: Earthquake / Lodi

Not for everyone, this is the kind of Petite Sirah Quentin Tarantino would make if he made wine—big, in your face and ultimately a fine, bold wine full of intense black olive tapenade, chocolate and tobacco, with a tannic, peppery finish, a nod to its 22 months spent in French oak. Juicy and meaty and able to age another 5–7 years. Have some braised meat at the ready.
