Intense berry aroma. Smooth, coat-your-tongue taste. Pretty darn good considering how cheap it was. It's not particularly complex though.

My first time drinking a Petite Sirah, recommended by the owner of a wine store in Crystal River Florida. Very smooth will definitely buy it again!

Easily top 10 best inexpensive wines I've ever had. The wine has a nice weight on the tongue and is really loaded with fruit flavors including blackberry and ripe plum. Nice subtle tannic finish. The wine lacks depth and complexity but for under $10, the value is considerable. #qprsuperstar

Petite Sirah. Significant oaky aroma & blackberry, currant, and forest/vineyard earthy floor. Smooth, lightly spicy toasted cherry taste. Somewhat sweet on the back palate. Pairs well with Brie and Port Cheeses.

Flavors of cassis and raisins at first, then musky, unfinished basement. Incredibly smooth. The nose in the glass has deep notes of cigar and the woods at dusk, which reminds me of fly fishing, but above the glass it's noticably sweeter, with oatmeal and plumb, and other notes that are harder to describe. Like wandering in the dark.
