Petite Sirah , Syrah , Zinfandel blend 2014 a very good year. Also 91 rating in RP Wine Advocate.. Tried at DAOU dinner at Chophouse with Monday Night Wine Group. Pretty impressive. Reminds me of The Prisoner at half the price.

This quite decent cocktail wine is medium bodied, at guess a Bordeaux style blend with a bit of Zinfandel in the mix. Quintessentially Paso terroir.

Beautiful blend from Daou. Dry and a bit chalky, like a Rhone blend. Delicious.

So I officially cannot stomach even a wine that is merely blended with petite Sirah. This tastes like a beautiful wine that someone mixed with prune juice.
