Villa San-Juliette Chorum Red Reserve – A Melodious Mix

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: February 8, 2020

A lovely Petite Sirah based blend from Paso Robles, the Villa San-Juliette Chorum Red Reserve.

Villa San-Juliette Chorum Red Reserve – A Melodious Mix

57% Petite Sirah, 29% Zinfandel, 7% Grenache, 5% Alicante Bouschet, 1% Syrah and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon from the the Villa San-Juliette Vineyard in Paso Robles, California. The wine is aged for 18 months in 25% new French oak and 20% new American oak and has just 1.3 g/L of residual sugar.

Sample submitted for review. The Villa San-Juliette Chorum Red Reserve has an SRP of $30 but can be found for as low as $16. Ready to buy? Check your local retailers. 1,612 cases produced.

From the bottle:

The term Chorum is used in the performing arts to denote the “coming together of a select group of voices”. We feel that this is the perfect word to describe the essence of this exceptional wine: a coming together of a select group of our finest lots.

15.3% Alcohol

The 2016 Villa San-Juliette Chorum Red Reserve begins with a very nice, quite aromatic bouquet of plum, black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, baking spice, balsamic and more. Taking a sip reveals a smooth and tasty wine with lots of vanilla and chocolate notes from the oak along with plenty of really delicious fruit. It ends dry and long with lots of lingering oaky spice. This is a really lovely Petite Sirah based blend! Highly Recommended.

Ready to buy? Check your local retailers.
