title: Concannon 2014 Captain Joe's Petite Sirah (Livermore Valley)
description: This wine tames the notoriously stiff texture of the varietal with a little extra richness of fruit and a slight softening of the usual tannic mouthfeel. So it tastes generous, coating the palate with ripe boysenberry and black-pepper flavors, and finishing smooth. It's still a big wine, but won't need extended aging.
variety: Petite Sirah
designation: Captain Joe's
