J. Lohr Tower Road Petite Sirah 2021

The 2021 Petite Sirah Tower Road is a beauty, with an up-front, lush, yet concentrated, nicely balanced style. Blueberries, peppery herbs, scorched earth, and graphite are just some of its nuances, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and beautiful purity. It’s another impressive wine from this estate that would be one heck of a great steak house red. [Has the potential to cellar into the early 2040s.] Score – 91. (jebdunnuck.com, Aug. 30, 2023)
