Fallen Bridge Petite Sirah – A Lucky Break

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: January 5, 2021

Highly recommended Petite Sirah for just $5.99 at Trader Joe’s! The Fallen Bridge Petite Sirah.

Fallen Bridge Petite Sirah – A Lucky Break

Petite Sirah from Lodi, California.

The wine is available exclusively at Trader Joe’s for just $5.99.

From the bottle:

Whether prepping for the Battle of Lodi or just preparing tonight’s dinner, don’t get knocked over trying to choose the perfect wine. It’s easy when you have fine wine from Lodi in hand. With bright fruit flavors, a plush mouthfeel and delightfully dry finish, this Fallen Bridge Petite Sirah is perfect paired alongside grilled meat, hearty soups or simply enjoyed on its own.

Vinted & Bottled by Sonoma Bespoke
15% Alcohol

The 2017 Fallen Bridge Petite Sirah begins with a pleasing aroma of dark fruit, vanilla, cola and licorice.

The somewhat tannic wine tastes similar to the nose with ripe, juicy dark fruit plus plenty of oak influence. It is perhaps a bit more fruit forward than some examples of Petite Sirah but that makes it a nice entry point for people new to the variety. It also features some vanilla, licorice, cola and spice notes to round things out.

It ends dry and long with a touch of an earthy chocolate note at the very end. This is a nice, very low cost example of Petite Sirah.
