Carver-Sutro Palisades Vineyard Petite Sirah 2012

$55

95+ points                                                                  A fantastic tiny-production Petite Sirah from Carver Sutro. Limited. 95+ Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Silky, polished and utterly impeccable, the 2012 will redefine what Petite Syrah is and can be in Napa Valley. Layers of blue and black fruit, ink, white flowers, cloves and sweet spices all flow across the palate with superb grace and complexity. The 2012 is so delicious, it could actually be enjoyed today, but it won't be bottled until August 2014. This is a striking wine from Carver-Sutro." 94 Points Robert Parker: "The 2012 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard, which is still in barrel, reveals peppery, meaty, blackberry and blueberry fruit notes intermixed with a hint of barbecue smoke. The relatively civilized tannins are no doubt attributable to this vintage that has produced such sweet, velvety, fruit-forward wines. Nevertheless, this full-bodied, polished 2012 Petite Sirah is capable of lasting 20 years after its release later this year."

17.5/20 (94/100) Красивый, комплексный аромат с нотами черничного варенья, запеченного со специями инжира, печёной груши, спелой жимолости, корицы, мускатного ореха и молочного шоколада. Тельное, спиртуозное с высокой кислотностью. Танины интенсивные, вяжущие. Вкус немного уступает аромату, но, в целом, насыщенный. Великолепно! (16.08.2018)
