Carver Sutro Vineyards Petite Sirah |
2005 Petite Sirah Napa Valley
Following are Robert Parker’s tasting notes of the 05 barrell sample:
”From the northeastern corner of the Napa Valley, this (Carver Sutro) Petite Sirah specialist turns out pedal to the metal, powerful, intense wines from this underrated varietal. “Revealing an opaque purple hue as well as a full-bodied, dense personality, the 2005 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard offers up scents of blueberries, black raspberries, camphor, graphite, and spring flowers. It reveals huge tannins, good acidity and 25 years of aging potential.” |
