Petite Sirah ‘La Storia’ Alexander Valley

United States, California

Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Syrah (Shiraz), Zinfandel

Impressive and imposing, with very dark, opaque color, beautiful nose of concentrated blue berries and blackberries that leads to a full body mouthfeel, with engagingly soft (for Petite Sirah) tannins. After a short aeration, the nose opens with the addition of cocoa, violets, slight earthiness, and graphite followed by brown sugar and a touch of vanilla - contribution of the new oak barrels. Overall, the aromas are of fresh dark fruit and very attractive. Longevity, if stored properly, is one of the virtues of this variety and it will give you the most enjoyment in 5-8 years
