CellarTracker! Petite Sirah Tasting St. Paul
Solid tasting and blind which is always fun.
- 2021 Thurston Wolfe Petite Sirah Reserve Zephyr Ridge Vineyard – USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Horse Heaven Hills
Glasvin Kane. Blind Petit Sirah Tasting and wine of the night for the group and my wine of the night as well. This was blind and outstanding quality. Minerals, raspberries, floral, cherry, dust and blueberries. Nice acidity and elegant wine. Outstanding value at under $25.00 (93 pts.) - 2021 Truett-Hurst Petite Sirah Estate Dry Creek Valley – USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley
Glasvin Kane. So tasted all these blind and I like this wine better than wine four. Same everything but isn’t that something blind Bramble, earth, spices, mint, boysenberry and cherry. Medium finish. Like this a lot. (92 pts.) - 2021 Stags’ Leap Winery Petite Sirah – USA, California, Napa Valley
Glasvin Kane. A bit thin watered down. Underbrush, peppers and floral notes. Not good. (82 pts.) - 2024 Truett-Hurst Petite Sirah Burning Man – USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley
Glasvin Kane. So crazy we had the same wine in this blind tasting as I did not like this wine at all. Jamy with some heat, spices, wafer and earth. Not nearly as the same version from wine one. (84 pts.) - 2021 Robert Biale Petite Sirah Royal Punishers – USA, California, Napa Valley
Glasvin Kane. I think with time this would have been wine of the night but too young. Floral, cherry, spices, raspberries, earth and pepper. Medium finish. 91+ (91 pts.) - 2022 Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton Springs – USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley
Glasvin Kane. So same score as the 2019 blind. Spices, cherry, plum, earth and green peppers. Medium finish. A bit pricy for the quality. (90 pts.) - 2022 Península (Vinicola L.A. Cetto) Petite Sirah – Mexico, Baja California, Valle de Guadalupe
Glasvin Kane. Solid wine with minerals, cherry, floral and spice. Medium finish. Nice wine and would never guess Mexico. (90 pts.) - 2023 Jeff Runquist Petite Sirah “R” Enver Salman Vineyard – USA, California, Central Valley, Clarksburg
Glasvin Kane. The Petite Sirah for those who like Caymus. Jam with riper fruits, sawdust, heat and chocolate. Not for me. (80 pts.) - 2019 Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton Estate – USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley
Glasvin Kane. Bought this same day of the event at Total Wine. Nothing wrong with it but did not do well and Ridge is slipping. Cranberry, floral, earth, dust and sour cherry. Medium finish. Paid about $45 for it and worth about $20. (90 pts.)
