2006 Icaria Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah
One 750ml bottle
Hillside Dry Creek Valley is the place to be for Petite Sirah. The leaner hillside soils are needed to control this vigorous varietal, and boy is it worth it. Beautiful, dark, bittersweet, with vanilla cherry pie, wonderful exotic spice and a good dose of black pepper, a quality most common to this powerful wine. Yes, you can make an elegant Petite Sirah!
