Community Tasting Note

River Rat Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 8, 2017 - My first visit to Bern's Steakhouse (Tampa): This wine was the surprise treat of the evening. My somm Rachel pulled this one out of her hat and nailed it. Color was medium dark red with a slight brickish tinge. The nose featured red berry and light baking spice along with a touch of dried fig. This really shined on the palate where everything just flowed harmoniously. Medium bodied and refined, soft red currant and cherry with touches of cedar and tar. The tannins started out fairly prominent but over an hour matured to a dusty chalk note that accented the well balanced palate perfectly. I've never experienced a Petite Sirah with this kind of elegance before. This was a treat and my WOTN.
