2003 Petite Sirah
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Release date: May 1, 2007
The ’03 Petite Sirah is, as past vintages have foreshadowed, a huge wine. Mouthy, full bodied, and gamey, it offers dense ripe black fruit, earth, and minerals on the nose as well as hints of tar, cocoa, and subtle toasty oak..
Broad mouth filling flavors of ripe blackberries
and blueberries abound on the palate followed by a
rich yet clean, lingering finish.
This wine can easily age for five years or more,
but the delicate fruit and approachable tannins make
it a tough one to stash away.
