Other reviews:
From the bottle:
“Roots, Rocks, Intrigue. Since 1883, Concannon Vineyards has been handcrafting fine varietal wines from grapes grown along the Central Coast of California, a diverse region that stretches north from Santa Barbara to the San Francisco Bay. We carefully select the most ideal vineyards for growing each varietal and craft this expressive fruit into superb wine.
Concannon is America’s first winery to bottle Petite Sirah. This medium-bodied wine is both approachable and versatile. Bright fruit aromas and flavors mingle with a hint of spice and toasty oak. Complements any meat but try it with your favorite lamb dish.”
