Tasting notes
The 2014 Petite Syrah Pesenti Vineyard is a real head-turner. Deep, inky and utterly spellbinding in its beauty, the Pesenti takes hold of all the sense and never lets up, in the way only the wines of Paso Robles can.

A song, especially compared to the prices Paso rock star producers command.
