Old Soul Petite Sirah 2018

94
Old Soul
Fanciful Name: Old Soul Petite Sirah
Varietal: Sirah
Vintage: 2018
Country of Origin: United States
Appellation: Lodi
Retail Price: $13.99

Tasting Notes: Very well-made, estate-grown, sustainably farmed (certified green) wine from a fifth-generation vineyard. Starting with fragrant notes of black rose petal and violet on the nose, through subtle dark berry and currant flavors, it finishes with a touch of wild blackberry and mocha on the lingering finish. One of the finest examples of this underrated grape made in California.

Domaine des Remizieres Cuvee Emilie Sirah 2017

94
Domaine des Remizieres
Fanciful Name: Cuvee Emilie
Varietal: Sirah
Vintage: 2017
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Hermitage
Retail Price: $62.99

Tasting Notes: What a bargain-priced Hermitage is in comparison to most of its peers. The Cuvee Emilie has a beautiful violet perfume with smoky bacon fat notes as well. The inky syrah in this wine has a chalky, full-bodied mouthfeel, with dark blackberry kirsch and subtle white pepper notes. May be the value of the vintage for Northern Rhone.
