Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

So juicy and flavourful, this is a perfect BBQ wine for summer. Aromas of smoke, dark berries, and a warm note of smoke and spice. Full bodied, with some earthy, soft tannins, medium+ acidity, rich, ripe berries, and a smoky, earthy finish. Enjoy with grilled burgers or ribs.
From Buena Vista, The Legendary Badge 2018 Petite Sirah is a great value full-bodied red for a great California wine producer. This wine is named for Count Agoston Haraszthy, a pioneer Californian winemaker. Look for dark ripe cherries, chocolate, strawberry jam, baked goods and cracked pepper spice flavours on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
