I enjoy Petite Sirah for the complexity - when done well (e.g. Elyse, Stags Leap) it offers stunning aromatics & big time mouthfeel w/fairly sturdy burly tannins. This was like AAA ball - well done but not the Major Leagues. Aromas weren’t so clear & delineated and palate was muddled. Air helped but still ultimately provincial.
