20120 PORTALUPI L VENTURI VINEYARD PETITE SIRAH “This big red wine offers layers of delicate nuance. Extraripe blackberry, blueberry and black-cherry fruits are seasoned with complementary notes of crushed violet potpourri, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, prune and hint leather. The palate offers mouth-coating tannins that are well-balanced with the concentrated fruit structure. Elevated acidity provides energy throughout the length of the tasting, leading toward a lingering finish" 92 Points
