Foppiano, Sonoma County (California) Petite Sirah 2009

Feb 8, 2012

By Paul Lukacs

 One of the best Petites I’ve tasted in the past couple of years, this wine offers deep, dark flavors, firm tannins, and a wonderfully evolved and evolving finish.  It’s tailor-made for pairing with hearty meat dishes, including slow-cooked barbecue, and at $12 is a veritable steal.  With the structure to age gracefully, this very much is a wine to consider buying by the case (or two).  A simply outstanding effort!
