Concannon Petite Sirah 2008
I'm finally sitting down after a very, very long day and pouring myself a glass of this lovely gem. This has been one of my "go to" wines because of the price and quality.
Price: $6.99
Alcohol: 13.5%
Cellared and Bottled by Concannon Vineyard
Central Coast (North Santa Barbara to San Francisco Bay)
Nose of: Dark cherry, blackberry, plum, rose, vanilla, currant, black raspberries and smoked cherry wood.
Flavors of: Plum, cherry, oak, pipe tobacco, cherry wood, blackberry, and tart cherry.
This is a medium bodied wine with a lush mouth feel. It has nice tannins that come up mid pallet and last through the finish. The finish has a mild pepper spice with some tart cherry and oak. This wine is not overly dry, it is very smooth and well rounded.
Stars: 7 out of 10
