Wine review: Lambert Estate PS I Love You Petite Sirah 2021
Now that the weather is finally starting to show signs of cooling down, I’m cracking out the winter reds. And the Lambert Estate PS I Love You Petite Sirah 2021 ticks all the boxes! We had a fabulous time visiting Lambert Estate when we were in the Barossa Valley a few years ago, so it was great to have the opportunity to try their latest release. This Petite Syrah seriously delivers on flavour while also being fresh and bright, making it perfect for pairing with BBQ. I can’t think of a better pairing than enjoying this with friends over some good food.
The Lambert Estate PS I Love You Petite Sirah 2021 is full-bodied but also has a lovely brightness that balances out those intense, rich flavours. On the nose it’s packed with berries: think blueberries, strawberries and raspberries along with a hint of spice. These notes follow through into the rich palate which has plenty of complexity to unpack. It’s got lovely bright fruit notes alongside spice, mocha and a hint of earthiness. It’s nicely balanced and keeps delivering flavour long after you’ve taken a sip. If you love Barossa wine and want to try some other varieties on offer, check this wine out.
About Lambert Estate
Lambert Estate, previously known as Stanley Lambert Wines, is a family affair. James (Jim) and Pamela Lambert are the owners and their son Kirk and wife Vanessa are the winemakers. Jim and Pamela moved to Australia in the 1990s after business travels brought him to Australia, and his dream was realised when they discovered the vineyards in the Barossa Hills that would become Lambert Estate. Kirk joined them and studied wine-making at the University of Adelaide where he fell in love with Vanessa.
Now Kirk and Vanessa bring their American and Peruvian backgrounds to winemaking to create wines with flair and individuality in every bottle. Lambert Estate wines are authentic Barossa Valley wines that respect the past while keeping an eye on the future.
