The shame of these nice wines from Temecula, one hour north of San Diego, is that few of them make it into broad distribution because of limited production and robust direct sales at the winery. That said, if you can find it the Danza del Sol Petite Sirah is a gem of a Petite Sirah, showing aromas of blueberry and blackberry with moderate tannins and a touch of sweet oak spice on the finish. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
