“Subtle” and “Petite Sirah” aren’t words often used in the same sentence, but here we go with this wine from Arizona. All the character you expect is here, with black and blue berries, plum, pepper and soft spice joined by easy vanilla. All the elements ride bright acidity through a satisfying finish where the spice dances in lingering fashion. Arizona — sounds like road trip time.
