Tasting - Two Angels Petite Sirah

Name: Two Angels Petite Sirah
Variety:  100% Petite Sirah
Region: High Valley, CA
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $14.95

Winery Review: The 2008 Two Angels Petite Sirah is very dark purple (nearly black) and boasts savory aromas of ripe, dark berries (blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry), violets, and ripe plum, with a hint of roast game. Abundant fruit flavors in this well- structured wine are nicely integrated with toasted oak and a touch of black licorice (Two Angels). 


My Review: On the nose of the Two Angels Petite Sirah, the first thing I immediately noticed was the blackberry. I also felt as though the alcohol was very prominent on the nose of this wine. Other than that, I had a hard time picking up any other aromas. Upon first sip, I first noticed the oakiness. There was also a hint of blackberries and dark cherries, followed by a peppery finish. I really enjoyed this wine because it has a nice tart quality to it. What I liked the most about this wine is the finish. It didn’t linger, but left you wanting more.

Food: N/A
