Mountain Tides Petite Sirah "Carbonic" Contra Costa 2018

100% Petite Sirah from Contra Costa that has been partially fermented carbonically to maintain freshness and to give an easy, fruity mouthfeel not dominated by tannins. Alcohol is just 12.1% – unheard of for Petite Sirah! Purple in appearance, with lots of crunchy black fruits like blackberry, cherry, and plum, as well as aromas of black pepper, licorice, thyme, and dark chocolate. Think of this as a tannic Beaujolais. Just 2 barrels made.
