I wanted a dry, spicy wine and I figured BevMo could help me find one. I asked the worker for a "peppery" Syrah and he recommended the Powderkeg Petite Sirah. We both noted how most Syrahs are trying to tame their flavors and make them smoother at the cost of taste. When I get a Syrah, I want one that will wake up my taste buds and set my lips on fire. Unfortunately, this one couldn't do that. It had a hint of pepper and the overall flavors were pronounced and Syrah-y, it just wasn't what I was looking for. I'd recommend it for pairing with a meal, but it wasn't the sipping wine that could stand on its own that I expected. I probably won't get it again as I'm sure I'll find what I really wanted.
