Tasting - Michael David Winery Petite Petit


Name: Michael David Winery Petite Petit
Variety: 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $18

Winery Review: Offering a joyous explosion of color and fun, this is a substantial, dense, full-bodied, whopper style of wine loaded with pure black fruit and vanilla flavors that coat the palate. It reveals remarkable richness with a finish that is slightly dry and seems to linger.

My Review:
The nose is very fruity with some oak. Red fruit is dominant with black fruit being slightly noticeable. Cherry, blackberry with some blueberry and raspberry are the discernible fruits as well as licorice. Black fruit is quite prominent on the palate with some strong tannins overpowering. Blackberry and black cherry are the fruits that stick out. It is oaky and hot on the long finish. It is seemingly unbalanced but could really benefit from some more breathing.
