Tasting Notes for Treasure Hunter Petit Sirah 2007
by gtv_john
Wine Tasted:
By Dark Horse Stable, Hopland, CA. Bottled from High-End Winery forced to unload spectacular vino they can't sell at regular big-name price point....hence> Treasure Hunters moniker.
Initial bottle whiffs of ripe black raspberries fragrances.
Grenache and Petite Syrah like Rhone blends of lush fruit, elegante tannins, arugula spice, black currant tastes, medium weight and tannin structure, fine silky finish. Soft and delish!
I would serve this wine for:
Any pre-dinner get together.
I shared this wine with:
Regular Formula One watch, this meet for Monza, Italia Grand Prix view e brunch.
The nose on this wine reminds me of:
Ripe black raspberries.
This wine would pair well with the following foods:
Carpaccio, saussicia Hors d'oeuvres.
I think this wine is priced:
A bargain for the excellent quality, surely some $20 less than it was destined to be.
If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:
Nada.
