Winery Review: Intensity of color, rich black and brambly fruits, vanilla bean and roasting coffee aromatics are complemented by remarkable approchability in our Spellbound Petite Sirah. This wine is crafted to unleash dark and luscious characteristics, while managing tannins to deliver an opulent and juicy Petite Sirah. This lush yet easy-drinking wine provides intense berry character, with superb texture you will find none other than Spellbound Petite Sirah. 

My Review: This wine was delicious! The deep ruby-red color identified this wine as a full-bodied red. One the nose, I got hints of plum and blackberries. The initial taste was of vanilla and oak with a mellow berry mid-palate. This wine had a tannic pre-finish but the dryness didn’t linger. The super smooth mouthfeel was complimented with the taste ending on a pleasantly sweet note, jammy, mixed with sage and thyme.

With food?: I had butter cooked salmon with shrimp, crab, lobster and asparagus at Morton’s Steak House with this wine.
