title: Castillo's Hillside Shire 2012 Tower View Vineyards Petite Sirah (Santa Clara Valley)
description: Extremely woody aromas of cedar meet with prunes, tobacco leaf and nutmeg on the nose of this bottling from a property south of San Jose. That woody character also plays powerfully on the palate, mixing with baked blueberry flavors to achieve a sort of balance. The tannins makes for a squeaky texture on the finish.
variety: Petite Sirah
