| Notes | Like previous vintages, the 2008 Madrone Spring Vineyard Petite Sirah is 100% Petite Sirah, 100% from Rockpile, and there is nothing petite about it. The black and violet hues cling to the glass, not only showing off the color but also the viscosity. Ripe black fruit on the nose with sweet oak, minerals and spicy herbs rounding out the complex aromatic profile. Flavors of blueberry pie greet the front palate, followed by notes of fresh ground meat, and velvety tannins coat your mouth from front to back. There is no doubt that this wine that will age gracefully. | |||
