We love a bold Syrah, but we rarely drink Petite Syrah--don't know why, just never think to pick up a bottle. We added this bottle to fill up a case, and we were very pleased with what we sipped. (For more about Petite Syrah, see here and here.)
Dashe 2002 Petite Syrah (Ripken Vineyard, Lodi): Daryl picked out the finer nuances of this wine, so we'll use his tasting notes for a more complete overview. Aroma: black raspberry. Taste: slightly peppery start; smooth chocolate finish. Interesting to note that when Kath tried this, we had just pulled it out of the cellar, and she tasted cinnamon instead of pepper. She also noticed a subtle hint of thyme.
This is an excellent wine, and we have a new varietal to explore.
Cheers!
