Huston Vineyards 2014 Private Reserve Petite Sirah, Snake River Valley $55
By Great Northwest Wine on November 28, 2017
The Alger family in Idaho’s tiny rural community of Huston works with urban winemaker Melanie Krause on their red program, and they’ve showcased Petite Sirah – a brawny Rhône grape – in this bottling from nearby Williamson Vineyard. Dense purple notes bring along notes of dark chocolate with lavender and sea salt. Nicely managed cherry skin tannins make for a big, ripe and well-made wine that received a gold medal at the 2017 Idaho Wine Competition.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 80 cases
Alcohol: 14.5%
