The Wine: 2010 Clarksburg Petite Sirah
The Price: $12.99 at QFC
The Crusher is one of the labels of Don Sebastiani and Sons. In addition to The Crusher, Sebastiani produces Aquinas, B Side, s|k|n, Pepperwood Grove, The Paso Project, Smoking Loon and Big Green Box.
The Petite Sirah is a blend of 76% Petite Sirah and 24% Merlot. The bottle was stopped with a natural cork, and decanted an hour before tasting.
The wine is a deep purple in color and has aromas of boysenberry, strawberry and just a slight hint of peppermint.
The wine is anchored with a strawberry jam flavor, which is rounded out by fig, prune and tart grapefruit. The wine is a bit heavy on tannins, but very enjoyable.

I recommend the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon as well.
Crusher wine is best wine.
