Brass Tacks North Coast Petite Sirah 2008
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
A bit vanilla-heavy at first, but then this gains some nice candied red plum fruit with hints of peppery cinnamon and minty black licorice adding some complexity. Shows fairly restrained in the mouth with some extracted tannins early on that are a bit prominent due to the restrained fruit. The flavors are a bit inky and lightly spicy with some candied tones to the core of blackberry fruit. The back end turns a bit lightly candied, but it works well with the rather fresh black fruitiness of the wine. And while the wood tannins seem to be rather prominent on the moderately long finish, that works with the wine, adding some not unexpected rusticity. 88pts
