    Vasco Urbano 2013 Heine Petite Sirah (Livermore Valley)

    An unusually dark color, even for this notoriously black varietal, makes this powerful wine stand out from the first glance. Full bodied, it piles on the flavor and layers of tannic texture in a bold but pleasing way. Rich, concentrated blackberry, dark chocolate, wood smoke and baking-spice notes fill the mouth and linger on the long finish. It will be best after 2020.
