Also from Amador County, the Sumo cuvée is always Petite Sirah-heavy yet includes a splash of Syrah and Viognier. The 2019 Sumo sports a dense purple hue as well as an exotic bouquet of blueberries, flowers, violets, pepper, and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this isn't a monster, over-the-top Petite Sirah, and it has a terrific sense of elegance and purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
The 2019 Sumo offers a fabulous combination of intense, rich fruit and savory/earthy undertones. Black cherry, dried herbs, leather, licorice and sweet pipe tobacco build in the glass. The 2019 needs time to soften, as the Petite tannins are a bit overpowering at this early stage.
