Dandy Petite Sirah

[Bucko]

1999 Guenoc, Petite Sirah, North Coast, California, $20, 11,522 cases. You can almost cut the rich raspberry and blackberry aromas of this inky beast. Generous fruit is augmented by dark chocolate and sweet oak. Always notorious for rugged tannins, Guenoc has done a great job taming this grape. You can drink this one tonight with grilled meats or game. 90/90.
