'99 Fife Redhead Petite Sirah

[Innkeeper]

Got in a supply of the '99 Parducci Petite Sirah ($8.52 Pops mixed case) for everyday drinking. Opened the first last night with a stroggie (had to use up the sour cream). All went well. Parducci still makes an approachable Petite with varietal character, and it matched nicely with the food.

Beaustiful purple color. Berries, cherries, and spice on the nose and tongue tip. Nice complexity with full body (13% alcohol) and well integrated oak across the palate, followed by a lovely finish. Nothing harsh, just nice. Now, when to pop the '99 Bogle that's also sitting down there?
