title: Armida 2012 Petite Sirah (Russian River Valley)
description: A pretty bouquet of violets greets the nose, followed by a bolt of black pepper. Boysenberry, black cherry and leather combine to mark the palate, which also reveals cola and anise. Soft and restrained for the variety, this is a food-friendly wine, with a gnarled bite of tannin on the finish.
