San Simeon Petite Sirah 2009

This petite sirah reveals deep, inky purple color. Aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, and pepper greet the nose. Barrel aging in French and American oak contributes notes of vanilla and spice. The mouthfeel is jammy and full bodied. Firm tannins provide structure as the flavors build to a lengthy finish.

Located in San Luis Obispo County, the Riboli family's vineyards are focused within the nenowned Paso Robles appellation. San Simeon Petite Sirah is sourced exclusively from the Steinbeck Vineyard. Ripe blackberry character and round tannins are complemented by spice and vanilla notes from aging in French and American oak barrels.
