Country: US / California
Variety: Petite Sirah
Winery: Envy / Envy Estate Vineyard
Very ripe, to the point of overripe. The blackberries and black currants veer into raisins, and there’s a hint of raisinskin tartness that, combined with the strong tannins, adds to the tough mouthfeel. Will probably soften with age, without necessarily gaining complexity.
