Bianchi Signature Selection Paso Robles 2018 Petite Sirah, $28.76-$31.95, 91 points, poured core black grading to a deep Sienna red with fat-stained legs and a clear wine ring.
Aromas of ripe blackberry, subtle rose pedal, and black licorice were lovely if not particularly complex.
As is true of most Durif (Petite Sirah) red wines, this one was full-bodied! The mouthfeel was soft and round. It also showed fair acidity, a supportive underlayment of tannin, and rich flavors reflective of the aromas with a developing plum.
Finished long on the trailing palate and hints of iron, red raspberry, and a big but balanced 14.1% alcohol.
A bit pricy, but well worth the price.
