Twisted Oak 2005 Calaveras County Petite Sirah

Cedar • plum • Blueberry • vanilla • cream

Tasting Notes

Aromas of your rich uncle's old cedar cigar box blend smoothly into plum and blueberry explosions. When the fruit bombing stops you are left with a creamy smooth sensation of vanilla and cream.

Peterson 2002 Petite Sirah

$25.99
blackberry • vanilla • coffee • mocha • oak
