NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This The Crusher Petite Sirah offers a deep ruby-purple color in the glass.On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and black cherries mingle with notes of violets, cedar, and dried herbs. On the palate, bold tannins are balanced with a bright acidity, leading to flavors of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of smokiness. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant hint of oak. Enjoy this big and bold Petite Sirah now or cellar it for a few years to let it fully develop.
