Aromatic with grilled meat and spice. Medium body, soft and silky tannins. Funky juicy fruit. Hipster red here. Balanced. Drink it.

The 2011 Petite Sirah Howell Mountain offers notable intensity, with plenty of blue/blackish fruit, lavender, mint, violet and sage overtones. Refined and super-expressive, the 2011 is an absolute joy to taste today. All the elements are very nicely balanced in a surprisingly tamed Petite that will drink well with minimal cellaring.
