TNR: Yiftah'el Petite Sirah Reserve 2006

Rogov hi,

have you tasted this wine?

Your 2009 guide lists Petite Sirah Reserve 2004 and 2005, as well as Petite Sirah 2004, 2005 and 2006.
In the 2010 edition Petite Sirah Reserve 2006 is missing as well.

Thanks,

Alek.

Alex, Hi.....

The 2006 Reserve had not yet been released when the book went to press. I have, however, tasted it since and my tasting note follows.

Best
Rogov

Yiftah'el, Petite Sirah, Limited Reserve, 2006: Developed in barriques for 12 months, ruby towards garnet in color, medium bodied, with soft tannins and showing appealing plum, cherry and cassis fruits, those supported by light spicy notes. Somewhat light and acidic for a Petite Sirah but a good quaffer. Drink now. Score 85.
