Producer: Greg Norman
Varietal: Petite Sirah
Vintage: 2006

What does an Australian golfer ranked 252nd in the world with a vineyard in the United States know about wine? You would think absolutely nothing but as it turns out—there is something interesting there.

The bouquet of the Greg Norman Petite Sirah (or Syrah) smells heavily of black cherries, mild spice and oak. The palate is nicely balanced with forward spice, cassis and has a long velvety dry finish. It was a very nice petite sirah that would've tasted even better with a 12 oz rib eye with peppercorn sauce. A nice rib eye would taste great right about now...

I love weekends. Back to work tomorrow though...

Okay, peace ooouuut...
