Amazing Petite!



2009 Switchback Ridge Petite Sirah "Peterson"....$53.99
A blueberry and boysenberry pie! So ripe and jammy you could spread it on an English muffin! A huge wine with intensely concentrated fruit that is framed by abundant tannins that are gripping, yet surprisingly soft and silky. There is nothing angular about this wine. A sweet, rich mid-palate coats your palate and leads to a long, lasting finish. - Bob Foley

The 2007 and 2008both scored a 95+ from The Wine Advocate, no score on the 2009 yet.
