Jeff Cohn Sweetwater Springs Petite Sirah 2017 (750ml) Mourvedre Blend

Jeff Cohn Sweetwater Springs Petite Sirah 2017 (750ml) Mourvedre BlendA touch of a cooler year in the Russian River has provided us with a Petite Sirah that, reminds me more of blend of Cornas and Cte Rtie. Its purple, black color has hints of dark ruby on the rim. If youre into blackberry pie filling in a perfectly baked pie shell, this wine is for you. Mixed in are subtle hints of dried apricots and peaches and savory notes that adds an extra dimension to the aromatics. A full bodied wine with a sweet silky mouthfeel

Winemaker Liz Magnus loves Cabernet’s fierce structure and feral attitude in its youth

its color is ruby red with reflections that fade towards purple

over which prevailing breezes pass

it sashays out of the glass with gregarious scents of red and black cherries

At 2/3 of the alcoholic fermentation process the must is racked with skins to stainless steel tanks where the fermentation ends

Harvest dates of October 9 to October 19

The wine is the product of Old Vine carignane from the late Hoover period vinified via carbonic macération (most famously employed in Beaujolais for Nouveau) and fermented with native yeasts

with a good

with touches of straw

The iridescent colors of the glass stopper create sublime light effects

This is due to the low ambient temperature during winter

which allows the oak aromas to be assimilated and integrated
