Huntington Petite Sirah 2005.


Yet another PS that I managed to find at a grocery store. But this was at Whole Foods so I was expecting a little more than the PS I picked up at Wal-mart.


The first thing I took note of was how thing it was compared to other PSes I've had. If you hold the legs up to the light, it's a very rich purple that leans toward lilac, much thinner than I would have expected from this variety. It has that similar strong nose, but...something is missing. It's like there's some thinness that permeates the whole thing.


Yeah. There's definitely something lacking in this one. Tannins seem to be relatively non-existent. Am I disappointed? A little.
