2 people found it helpfulDec 27th, 2015This is a great #wine in so many ways. Color is very well balanced and gradient shows Harmony throughout the glass. Glowing color and polished sheen. Slight perfume, elegance and soft lavender aromas with a hint of passion fruit or fuzzy fruit.
The palate is incredibly soft and pillowy. The tannins are amazing for 2013 #PetiteSirah. Whether it be 4% Viognier, or over sized oak barrels, it has amazing texture. The plush, grapey, soft berries, gentle tannin and mild acidity make the wine. Opened 12/18/15

Forceful in it's youth, yet remains some of the best Petite Sirah I've tasted.

Oct 24th, 2021Great lingering finish. Still can age. Drink over 2-3 hours or even overnight to experience the evolution.

Aug 25th, 2020Plush, smooth and a bit of blackberry jam. Big wine. Nothing subtle about it. Very enjoyable on its own. Beautiful color.

Sep 3rd, 2019Rich ripe fruit. A big wine full of dark fruit flavors but considering ripeness has balance.

Feb 28th, 2016High expectations for the price. Big and inky as anticipated. Decanted 1+ hour and not vastly different. Big berry fruit in foreground, oak presence. Overall soft and velvety. Would love to try with more age.
