El Portal, California (United States) Petite Sirah 2020

Sep 28, 2021

By Rich Cook

 No need to wait on this approachable Petite Sirah to come around – it’s ready to go right now, and will take a little bottle aging as well.  The nose is all smoky blueberry, and that translates straight to the palate where supple tannins keep things together.  A fine budget buy!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
