L.A. Cetto Petite Sirah 2010 - vintages



$11.95 LCBO, Vintages
Decanted for 1 hour, slightly less than room temperature
Consumed at home with husband

Wow! This wine was so smooth and had a really great big flavour. We enjoyed it with manchego cheese and our son's goldfish crackers. I will be getting this wine again and likely posting about it a little more in detail since it was a couple days ago when we drank it. It did give my husband a headache, but he's a bit more susceptible to tannins than I tend to be.

A user from the above mentioned website says:

"This astoundingly well-priced wine won a Gold Medal at the 2012 Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Deep ruby-purple colour with rich aromas of blueberry jam, boysenberry, earth and mocha. Big, plump and full-bodied wine with substantial tannins and a whack of ripe fruit and chocolaty notes. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue."
