Petite Petit nothing little about this wine



This is the perfect gift wine. The label alone is like a greeting card and screams celebration! Just make sure you buy more then one so you to can get into the festivities and see what this big California red has to offer. According to the winery Petie Petit is a blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot. The wine is dark purple and opens with a very inviting violet and plum-like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is quite silky and smooth. It displays very jammy black current like flavors with notes of dry blackberries and vanilla as well. The finish is dry, and lingers slightly. Aged 14 months in French oak. The price is around $17 a bottle,higher then I generally advocate but this is a memorable bottle of wine!
