Our 2012 Monarch Petite Sirah has a superb rich dark red robe.This is an antioxidant heaven all the way to the mouth. More red fruits in the attack with a soft gentle power emerging from the 14% alcohol. These light flavors of cinnamon spices and oak are increasing giving the wine a strong tannic structure in the finish. STEMS UP!
