title: Barra of Mendocino 2011 Estate Grown Petite Sirah (Mendocino)
description: Huge in structure and monolithic in flavor, this young, rough-cut wine will need until at least 2020 to show its best stuff. This variety is known for aging well, so it's not much of a gamble. The color is black with a dark, smoky rim, the aromas are like charcoal and blackberry jam, and the flavors seem saturated with fine tannins.
variety: Petite Sirah
designation: Estate Grown
