Tri It, You’ll Like It
Yo, how you livin’? Cause if the answer is “large”, we got you the hook up right here.
Yeah, roll them eyes, grammarians, because we ain’t gonna stop you. Over here, you can wine all you like. Get it? That’s right, you english majors love puns as much as you hate non-Chaucerian slang. Whatevs. Anyway, check it, we got a three-teet today. Three Michael David Petite Sirahs.
First up: The 2007 Petite Petit. Petite means little, but this wine is large. It’s opaque dark purple with an inviting violet and plum-like bouquet, silky and smooth on the palate. And it’s the jam. Black current jam, to be precise, droppin’ little blackberry bombs with a few vanilla samples in the bassline.
Then there’s the 2005 Earthquake Syrah to shake things up. This reserve level wine has major concentration and over 15% alcohol with bold tannins. Your nasalmograph will register the initial shock of pure red fruit and dark baker’s cocoa, followed by the aftershock of espresso, chocolate covered cherries, spiced cedar and an intimidating amount of black raspberry. Hints of vanilla and plum will finish off your palate like a one two punch.
Finally, like a gentle breeze, the 2007 Windmill Petite Sirah will sooth away your taste tensions. The super-ripe blackberry and brown sugar share a touch of oak and spice that have you off the hook. Pick a hook, any hook, and after a sip of this you won’t be on it. The rich Lodi sun and cool San Francisco breezes make for a great Petite Sirah you’ll love to taste.
Right here, see, is some wine that covers all the bases. It comes hard and strong and leaves soft as a kitten. If you want a three pack that’ll take care of all your needs, you’re wanting this Michael David Petite Sirah Trio. Can you dig it, Horatio?
