McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah 2009 750ML

Shows the dry astringency, sharp acidity and bitterness of a fine, young Petite Sirah, with currant and pepper flavors accented with smoky oak. Doesn't seem likely to develop, so drink now with hearty fare, like pasta with sausages.

Scads of freshly cracked black pepper show up in this wine, with its raspberry jam and sandalwood flavors. It's soft and simple and slightly sweet, but pretty good for the price.

Black jam and sweet spice turn this into chocolate decadence. A terrific value in a warm red for winter stews.
