Epiphany Rodney's Vineyard Santa Barbara Petite Sirah 2021 Rated 94VM

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 94
The 2021 Petite Sirah is packed with inky dark fruit, espresso, licorice, lavender and sweet spice. Unctuous and full-bodied, the 2021 possesses notable textural richness and a good bit of freshness to match. It's another impeccable wine in this range from Epiphany. Blair Fox did a terrific job in avoiding the massive Petite tannins. Drink 2024-2031.
