V. Sattui, Napa Valley (California) Petite Sirah 2015

Oct 2, 2018

By Robert Whitley

  Petite Sirah can be a beast of a wine, with mouth-puckering tannins wrapped in gorgeous red and black fruits and loads of spice.  V. Sattui manages to tame the beast with this impressive Petite from the Napa Valley.  Aromas of blueberry and blackberry are dominant, the depth and richness are impressive, and the tannins are supple, giving the wine a plush feel of the palate. Bring on the grilled ribeye!   A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
