Shop review: "Vivid purple in color, with aromas of full toned blackberry and boysenberry. Caramel and toffee are evident in the bouquet, as well as a chocolate oak profile. The wine is substantial, yet has a rich soft cream texture of mocha. Very elegant and full of ripe black fruit flavors of blackberry and blueberry. These fruit flavors are savored in the lingering mouthwatering finish." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: McManis Petite Sirah poured a purple red color in the glass. The nose had notes of blackberries with a caramel sweetness behind it. My palate detected blackberries on the tongue with slight tannins and a very smooth, elegant finish. I enjoyed this red a lot. For the price, it is such a bargain for its quality.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
