Leave a comment.Rosenblum has always appealed to me because of it’s focus on Zin and it’s extensive lineup of vineyard-designate wines. I saw this Petite Sirah on the shelf a while back and the vineyard name struck a chord with me (see below), so I picked it up. Let’s check it out. Producer: Rosenblum Cellars Grapes: [...] March 12th, 2010 | Tags: 2005, California, Petite Sirah, Redwood Valley | Category: Price: Over 20 bucks, Tasting Notes |

4 comments. Add yours.artezin (I think they prefer no caps) is a part of the Hess Family of wineries. The label is focused on Zin, Petite Sirah and Carignan.

That’s what I wonder when see that this wine is called Petite Petit for it’s combination of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot (and oddball blend to be sure). Clever name, but [...] January 20th, 2010 | Tags: 2007, California, Lodi, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah | Category: Price: 16-20 bucks, Tasting Notes |
8 comments. Add yours.I don’t know what it is about me and Lodi Zin. I did a series on Lodi old vines Zin a few months ago and only really liked 1 out of 5. Zinfandel has always been one of my favorite grapes, but maybe my palate has shifted away from what these moderately-priced examples can deliver [...] December 3rd, 2009 | Tags: 2007, Lodi, old vines, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel | Category: Price: 11-15 bucks, Tasting Notes |
9 comments. Add yours.This wine had a lot of “shelf appeal” for me. First off it’s from Paso Robles and it’s got the vineyard named on the label. Yippee! Then I see that it’s a blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tannat and Touriga Nacional. Geek-tastic! Producer: Vina Robles Grapes: 51% Petite Sirah, 43% Syrah, 4% Tannat, 2% Touriga [...] September 29th, 2009 | Tags: 2007, California, Paso Robles, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tannat, Touriga Nacional | Category: Price: 11-15 bucks, Tasting Notes |
