Petite Sirah is enjoying a comeback, and here’s one reason why. This is a deeply fruity, well oaked, balanced wine. It’s rich and intricately detailed, with a myriad of spicy berry flavors. Combines the light softness of Pinot Noir with Cabernet’s fullness of body to produce a food-worthy wine that’s delicious on its own. ——S.H.(12/1/2002)—— 90
