J. Lohr Tower Road Petite Sirah 2021
Bursts with energy, boasting cranberry and olallieberry aromas, complemented by delicate floral notes from the addition of Grenache Blanc. Delightful red and blue fruit on the palate, leading to a finish of exquisite length, concentration, and well- balanced structure.

Aromas of dark cherries, plums, chocolate and cooking spices. Full-bodied, creamy and ripe with a deep core of fruit and velvety tannins. Fruit-driven and exuberant.

The 2021 Petite Sirah Tower Road is a beauty, with an up-front, lush, yet concentrated, nicely balanced style. Blueberries, peppery herbs, scorched earth, and graphite are just some of its nuances, and it's medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and beautiful purity. It's another impressive wine from this estate that would be one heck of a great steak house red.

Ripeness reigns through teeth-coating blackberry, bramble, and white pepper. The palate is creamy and broad, with generous brushstrokes of violets and dark chocolate espresso.
