Episode 75: 2003 Jewel Petite Syrah
“Peh-ti-t,” Grapedonk said, grinning. “But it smells like when I’m cleaning my dirty engine parts—not like chemicals, but like an engine with a grease sweater on it.” But it didn’t taste anything like it smelled, which according to Grapedonk is a good thing, unless you like licking your engine.
After a microsecond of dark blackberry/boysenberry thing, the wine rolls off into an odd finish with peaking tannins. In the end, it had a bit too much grip for us.
We paid $8.99. Buy this wine at Witty’s.
