Four Vines

2010 LODI Petite Sirah
LODI - a city in north central California
Petite Sirah - a grape variety

I found this beautiful jewel nestled among the bottles on sale at The World Market.  Normally $12.99...it was on sale for $6.49.  I was definitely game to give it a try. 
This beautiful red wine boasts a subtly sweet, gentle flavor, just long enough to make you want to take another sip.  A fairly evident spicy aftertaste is very much a welcome surprise.  I would like call this one a truffle because it was a hidden gem.  Must enjoy again....:)
