TN: 2015 Dirty and Rowdy Petite Sirah Old Vine Rosewood Vineyards

2015 Dirty and Rowdy Petite Sirah Old Vine Rosewood Vineyards - USA, California, North Coast, Redwood Valley (3/27/2019)
Two years since release, and nobody on CT has tried this wine? Well that won’t do.

It’s really deep purple. It’s Machine Head deep purple. Hope I don’t get any on my white shirt. Grapey, piney, showing touches of fresh chopped rosemary and warm underbrush, it is like hiking a dusty trail on a hot day. Then the tannins hit, like stubbing your toe on a rock. It hurts a bit, you land on your hands and knees, and wince. You gather yourself for a minute, then the brightness and fruit hold out a hand and pick you up.

There’s one more bottle, and it may sit a long time. This wine has teeth, but it also has flesh.
