The Wine: 2007 Petite Sirah
The Price: $10.99 at QFC (marked down from $15.99)
Spellbound is a partnership between Robert and Lydia Mondavi, Patti Romano and Geoff Whitman. The partners also own Medusa Wines. Robert is the grandson of the Robert Mondavi who founded Robert Mondavi Wines, so he is no stranger to the industy.
The Spellbound Petite Sirah is made from 98% Petite Sirah and 2% "Other Red" grapes. The bottle was stopped with a synthetic cork, and decanted an hour before tasting.
The wine is dark purple in color and has aromas of prune, blackberry, vanilla and pepper. This is a big, bold, fruity wine with a mild pepper finish. It has flavors of strawberry jam, raspberry and vanilla, with just that hint of pepper. This is a pretty incredible Petite Sirah, espcially given the price. I highly recommend this one!
