2013 vintage Deep purple to red, slight minty coolness on nose, cherry and some blackberry in mouth with round viscosity on finish. Good value though not much complexity

Inky in color with a purplish rim.
Light nose of black currants, cherries, strawberries, wood, licorice, earth, vanilla, vegetables, chocolates, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with high acidity and long legs.
Bone dry on the palate, and tart, with cherries, pomegranate, strawberries, cranberries, earth, vanilla, cedar, graphite, dark chocolates, coffee, bell pepper, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Tart finish with round tannins and pomegranates.
This 3 year old, is already on its way out. Not too much on the fruits side, and now it became very earthy.
This wine needs to be consumed while it's fresh. It reminds me a lot of a an inexpensive Merlot based Bordeaux.
Better with food, but I enjoyed it paired with the sunset, all by itself.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

This is a nice yet simple Petite Sirah from California. Still young and a little bit unbalanced , but already Enjoyable by itself or with hearty food.
A unique blend of 86% Petite Sirah and 14% Pinot Noir.
I paired it with a beautiful view and a cheese plate.

Dark ruby in color with medium intensity and a purple rim .
Great nose of wild flowers, blackberries, blueberries, minerals, strawberries, cherries, vanilla, oak and black pepper.
Medium bodied with high acidity and nice legs.
Tart and dry on the palate with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, red currents, bitter vegetables, oak, vannilla, earth, olives and white pepper.

Nice petite Syrah but not a typical one. I had the 2012 before, which was much better. I think I held on this one a bit too long. I'm going to have to give the 2014 a try...
