I guess today’s tasting note will be the most concise one so far. My extraordinary
Petite Sirah was made by L.A. Cetto. A winery founded in the early 1970s by an Italian immigrant and to date probably the largest wine producer in
Valle de Guadalupe on Baja California, Mexico.
Enough briefing for today! That will do!
Both
bouquet and taste and not to forget colour told my senses one thing right from the
start: juicy! Pure, utter and unadulterated red currant juice plus hints of a few other berries. From the first
to the last sip. Very vital and straight juice-a-like. Well, perhaps I spotted
a few hints of red currant sherbet with some traces of nutmeg and pepper, too.
Anyway, 90% of all tasted like red currant juice. Luckily the sweetness wasn’t
superimposed or pungent, but definitely present! Really weird wine, which
wasn’t me at all, but wasn’t that bad either!

I've just been reading your blog. Really interesting stuff!! You should try L.A. Cetto nebbiolo!! Its pretty interesting, although pretty different to Barolos and Barbaresco....
Hi, thanks for your comment! Really funny! About a week ago I bought the Private Bin Nebbiolo 2007 from L.A. Cetto. Now I am really looking forward to this one :-)
