Community Tasting Note

  August 9, 2007 - Dark purple color with mouth-staining inkiness. Aroma is oak and cedar on the front with some alcohol that comes through clearly. Jammy dark fruit is also there. Smells like a cab. Mouthfeel is muscular and grippy, almost tongue-curling. There's a generic flavor of oaked blackberry and a little bit of plum. Finish is pretty long and tannic.
  
  Not a bad wine and a great match for something fatty and strong like peppery steak or a sharp cheddar. This was my first petit sirah, and I'm not blown away. It could easily have been an average mid-priced California cab.
