See previous review. I’m trying it again to see how it differed from the 2017 Durif from Berryessa Gap Vineyards. This Petite has Primitivo and Peloursin in as a field blend. The Durif is straight Petite Sirah.
This wine is juicy, big and complex. It’s not showing much softening from age, but it’s a lovely red as I mentioned in my previous review of the 2017. — 3 years ago

What’s Durif? Loved the combo with Australian Shiraz. Red and blackberry and cherry with a touch of oak and smoke. This was quite the fruit bomb with mild tannins and medium body. Please sir. . . I want some more. — 7 days ago
