J Dusi Wines, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) Petite Sirah 2021

Feb 7, 2024

By Norm Roby

 This inky black wine is stunning with an initial aroma of fresh blueberry, mocha, spice, and a floral component.  Medium bodied and plush, it is pure velvet on the palate with good acidity and hints of tea and light oak in the long aftertaste which has a touch of chocolate to bring it to a resounding finale.  There is not a rough edge anywhere.  It was fermented by native yeasts and barrel aged for 18 months in French and American oak, 25% new.  100 cases were released in October, 2023.
