NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
L. A.Cetto Petite Sirah is distinguished by its deep, dark purple color, almost inky in appearance, which hints at the concentration and richness of the wine. The nose is greeted with an enticing array of aromas, including ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of black pepper, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate from oak aging. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and powerful, with a dense texture that envelops the mouth. The flavors of dark fruit are prominent, supported by firm tannins and a moderate acidity that brings balance to the wine's opulence. Notes of spice and a touch of smoke lead to a long, satisfying finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: L. A. Cetto
Region: Baja California
Baja California is a Mexican state located on the western coast of the country, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of California to the east. It is the second-largest state in Mexico and is home to some of the country's most exciting and innovative winemaking.
Winemaking in Baja California dates back to the 1683, when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards in the region. Since then, the region has seen a steady growth in its wine industry, with the first modern winery established in the late 19th century. Today, Baja California is one of Mexico's most important wine regions, producing a wide range of styles from both international and local grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
