  November 13, 2011 - Opened in 2011, with 8 years of aging behind it, and this was still a blockbuster. Dark purplish-red in coloring, and so thick it almost looks black. Thick on the palate as well. Tannins still quite pronounced. I think this could have cellared another decade with no issue whatsoever. Intense flavors of leather, cassis, dried cherries, blackberries, tobacco, and oak. Nose of marzipan and currant jelly. This is a fairly complex wine from the people who first bottled the varietal.

  September 26, 2007 - Very good value. Interesting, rich, big fruit and deep wine for the price. Shows the promise of the Petite Sirah grape as you can get a pleasuable wine for less that $15.

  December 20, 2005 - Nice QPR at $10. Simple blueberry and spice, not much complexity. Nice and sweet upfront, but a dry, short finish.
  Would be a crowd pleaser. However, for QPR these days I'd just as soon go for a Spanish or Aussie red.

  April 8, 2005 - Very grapey color and aromas. Looks almost like Welch's grape juice in the glass. This wine is better the second day after opening. I decanted this for 6+ hours on day one and it was still pretty primal. Day two and the flavors have smoothed out some. Blueberry and pepper flavors and gripping tannins, chewey and super ripe.
