What a pleasant surprise to find this Petite Sirah from HandCraft at my neighborhood wine shop! I just recently saw it on the shelf and was immediately curious about the new wine that was only $8.99.
Though I’ve never bought a straight Petite Sirah before, the flavor is immediately recognizable as a key ingredient from many of the Red Blends that I like. For once, we didn’t kill the whole bottle in one night and Xavier said he thought it was better the second day. I thought it was good the whole time though it did benefit from having a few minutes to air out.
Composed by winemaker, Cheryl Indelicato, this Petite Sirah has a dash of Zinfandel added for extra spice. It’s also 14.5% alcohol for a bit of extra kick.
Full of dark blackberry and plum, pleasantly flavorful and smooth, an excellent buy for under $10. My store had several other selections from HandCraft and I plan to try another one this week!
