Stags' Leap Winery Petite Syrah 2005

Wall Street Journal Good/Very Good
"Crisp and nicely tight, with plenty of fruit and an interesting finish with a little bit of bite that reminded us of black olives. A favorite for years."

"Rich aromatics of ripe blueberry, blackberry, and cocoa together with a floral back note are the introduction to this expressivepetite syrah. On the palate, ripe black fruit, espresso, spice and mocha commingle to create a luscious and balanced wine that features structured tannins and juicy, berry flavors to the end." ~Kevin Morrisey, Winemaker
