Steve Rasmussen Zinfandel Petite Sirah Estrella District 2013
About the wine
Big plush feast wine
- Rich and smooth, this blend of Zinfandel and Petit Sirah is Steve's most quintessential Paso Robles wine with an intense dark purple hue and a big, dense body.
- But you still sense that Steve cut his teeth making subtle wines like Pinot Noir because this wine has a perfect balance and stays light on its toes.
- This wine has a nice tang to it that almost reminds me of BBQ sauce so it's easy to pair with big meaty dishes, but a big-wine-lover could easily enjoy pouring a giant glass of this and slowly sipping the evening away without any food at all.
