Briary black fruit berry characteristics. Savory finish. Delightful with chocolate cake. I am sure bbq steak, lamb or chicken would really work with this. — 6 years ago
2002 vintage. A lighter petite sirah, somewhat dry, but still presenting lively berry flavors. From the FIL’s collection. 14.5% ABV. — 7 years ago

Foppiano is an O.G. petite sirah producer, who unfortunately saw a precipitous decline in quality recently. The old stuff is still great though and is as ageable as anything. This is still big and black as night, but the tannins are starting to fade a bit. Still has the stuffing to go another 20, but it's great right now and is taking on secondary characteristics that most PS's never quite pick up. — 11 years ago

Very tasty. Highlights of SB but more mellow like a Chardonnay — 9 years ago
