title: J. Scott Cellars 2009 Petite Sirah (Rogue Valley)
description: Oregon Petite Sirah is certainly an outrider, but this is a commendable effort. It captures the dense blackberry fruit of the grape, wrangles the thick tannins into some sort of rough balance, and adds a lick of espresso to the finish. Blocky, tasty and proportionate.
variety: Petite Sirah
