A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah, the 2017 Pirate delivers a deep ruby colored wine with lush, ripe aromas of black and red fruit like plum and berry, accompanied by notes of fine leather, toast and spice. A complex blend with lots of interesting layers playing off of each other. Flavors persist as does the texture of the wine. Extracted and big but not heavy, with moderate silky structural tannins and a round, well-balanced finish that lingers. A versatile wine that, above all else, is fun to drink! 2017 marks La Sirena's 11th release of this blend - a picture-perfect vintage known for producing classic expressions of Napa Valley wines.
ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "The 2017 Pirate TreasuRed is an attractive wine to drink now and over the next few years. Bright floral notes and red-fleshed fruit lend energy and vibrancy to this mid-weight red blend from Heidi Barrett."
