Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2014
Lodi, Central Valley, California, United StatesThe Mettler family has been growing grapes in California’s Lodi appellation for five generations. They farm over 800 acres and own 300 acres including 75 acres certified organic. The 2014 Petite Sirah is a 90/7/3 mix of Lodi petite sirah, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. The nose is a smoky, earthy black pepper affair with a sweet undertone. Expect intense black cherry, blackberry lined with dense, meaty sticky tannins and a long warm finish. A blockbuster red that will attract those who love their reds big. Serve with charcoal grilled beef to best effect.Tasted: 12 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $46.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
