Stags' Leap Petite Sirah 2014
Napa Valley, California, United StatesBetter than ever. I love it when French winemakers make wine in the New World. Faced with overwhelming fruit they manage to get the balance to a point where everyone wins. The 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. It’s big and rich but it comes with complexity of flavours, namely black pepper, raspberries and bitter, dark chocolate. The acidity keeps the wine fresh and linear and in this case, there are still some tannins to shed in the back end. Winemaker Christophe Paubert also uses a small but varying mix of syrah, grenache and mourvèdre to add complexity and balance to the blend. First class and you can cellar this more than a decade.Tasted: 29 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| ON | $45.00 | 750ml | |
