title: Le P'tit Paysan 2012 Petite Sirah (Monterey County)
description: Ian Brand's stab at this grape shows a lot of black rock minerality and bloody meats on the nose, layered across blueberry syrup and sour cherry elements. The palate is much lighter than other takes on this varietal, showing menthol-laced flavors of blackberries and tobacco.
