Sweet oak, black and blue fruits, and finally some spice and structure from the dollop of Petite Sirah, solid balance, needs more cellaring to soften the structure, very good Central Coast Syrah!

Ripe fruit, fair amount of oak, dark fruits and then the 5% Petite Sirah injects lots of structure and tannins, for me, too much oak and Petite Sirah for the level of fruit and depth, others will likely be more favorably disposed towards it.
