Stags' Leap Petite Sirah 2009

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Stags' Leap Petite Syrah comes from a handful of very old vines on the estate and from other sites in the north and south of Napa Valley. The attack is rich and intense with complex aromas and flavours that mix black pepper, raspberries and chocolate. There is sufficient acidity to keep the wine fresh and linear with a sweeter finish flecked with vanilla and brown sugar. Winemaker Christophe Paubert also sues a small but varying mix of syrah, grenache and mourvèdre to add complexity and balance to the blend. A super wine that is always outstanding when served with lamb.Tasted: 01 December 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
