TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Jessup Cellars: Petite Sirah: Napa Valley - California: : 2009: United States

This nailed my palate right in the center of the bulls eye with an outrageously smooth-inky-deep-dark mouthfeel and intensity bursting with black cherries and spice.

Had a glass at the Bounty Hunter in Napa.

Would certainly be worth the retail price if $47.95 bottles fit my budget.

 REVIEW POLICY:

For winery tasting samples, gifts from friends or family or samplings at a party or event, review it truthfully, but only if I like it. If I have paid my own very-hard-earned money on a bottle, the gloves are off and it gets what it deserves ... whether perfect or puerile.
