Great Petite Sirah. Hints of dill, blackberry, mushroom, very good earthy and berry mix in the nose and palate. Medium finish and medium tannins. — 7 years ago

One fantastic example of how lush and smooth a Zinfandel can be! Dark fruit on the front end. Beautiful violet color. Velvet on the back end. — 9 years ago
Gorgeous Zinfandel. Landy Vineyard at Sweetwater Springs producing some delicate tannins with juicy and spicy notes. Herbaceous nose with hints of potpourri and baked dark fruit. Paired perfectly with Thai BBQ Pork and pineapple fried rice. At this price point, easily one of the best Zin’s out there. — 3 years ago
Named in honor of winemakers spouse. A blend of grapes from Landy (23%), Gaps Crown (44%) and Donnelly Creek (33%) and aged in French oak (19%) for 15 months. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, herb and spice. On the palate cherry and ripe strawberry flavors with tobacco and sweet spice tones. Well balanced with smooth fine tannins, lively acidity on a lingering finish. Only 217 cases. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago
Good cab with full nose and long finish. Still a bit young as the tannins were medium to medium plus - expect that to soften more as the years go by. Another good RRV wine! — 9 years ago
Very little Petite Sirah left in the RRV, dominated by Pinot's, however David Rossi has performed magic! Very dark purple with aromas of deep dark fruit and exotic spices. On the palate big flavors of blackberry and ripe blueberry with smoky oak, floral notes and dusty drying smooth tannins. Well balanced on a long finish ending with a mineral tang. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Color is lighter and closer to a Pinot, which might be one reason I rated this even higher than normal. Mild dark berry flavors, appearance and taste of lower alcohol and just overall an extremely enjoyable bottle. — 9 days ago
