'99 Fife Redhead Petite Sirah

[Innkeeper]

'02 Parducci, California, Petite Sirah ($9.99 Jason's Ellicott City, MD). Alcohol level 13.5%. Even though this winery has gone through many problems and changes, this wine has not changed much since we first started drinking it in the early '70s. We just checked those notes.

It is still about cherries and berries on the nose and upfront; lush complexity with admittedly noticeable oak on the palate; and a finish that is more than noticeable. Still a very approachable PS.

Matched it with lamb burgers and salad with B.C. dressing. Excellent chow.
