A bit of apricity to combat the colder months. A really distinctive and lovely brass golden hue in the glass. The aromatic notes are sudden and pleasing with apples, peaches, and pears upon opening. Pineapple and melon for days. A luscious smear of honey runs throughout.

A quite unique and energetic Chardonnay from Mendocino County. Bright acidity and lively. This is a wine with a personality and soul. Crisp and clean with precision. More citrus fruits on the palate with apples and tea, for good measure. A really fun wine. — a month ago

Theopolis Vineyards Petite Sirah 2018, Mendocino County, California

Dark inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose with black currants, black plums, stewed cherries, raisins, dried figs, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with sweet cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth, light vegetables and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

This 7-year-old Petite Sirah from Mendocino County is still drinking nicely, but will not last for long. Fruit forward and rich. Elegant and extracted.

Good by itself and good right out of the bottle. Gets earthier as it opens up (30 minutes) with lots of earth and vegetable notes.

Tangy and interesting.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

An ample dose of (very ripe + very evocative) Anderson Valley fruit & flora: cherry, raspberry, pennyroyal tea, dank forest floor, still vibrant and youthful. This wine is just a bit too hot and heavy (nearly 15% alc) for my tastes. Really exquisite fruit here, but while I like this power and boisterousness in her Petite Sirah, I prefer the volume just a tad lower on my Pinots. Pardon any typos; I am a lightweight and no longer accustomed to these abvs on a Tuesday night!
