October wine featured is Spellbound Petite Syrah



2008 Spellbound Petite Sirah, California


This "dark and brooding" varietal by Rob Mondavi Jr., is 76% Petit Syrah, 18% Syrah, 6% other proprietary red wines.

Rich in color, with black and branbly fruits, vanilla bean and roasted coffee aromatics. Wine Spectator says this wine tastes almost like an Aussie Shiraz, a big, jammy but drily acidic wine that explodes with blackberry, cherry and pepper flavors.
