93 Points

Sunday, September 23, 2012 - if i lived inside a blueberry, i think this is what it would feel like - this wine is like getting punched in the face with a blackberry. outstanding balance for a petite sirah but not for the faint of heart - this is hedonists wine lovers dream. huge stain your teeth fruit and texture and big oaky tannins. This is a hot wine. HUGE all around. I was concerned because the cork on this bottle was crumbling dry but the wine was perfect. This one I left open on the bottle in a cool room for 2 hours to open slowly which worked nicely. outstanding big chocolate chewy fruit. bacon flavors and rosemary herbal notes with the texture of mayonnaise. penetrating and powerful. sliced straight through a NY strip steak. If you are a fan of bob foley and know his style of wines this is sure to impress. powerful. best bottle of this I have had. There might be a touch of bottle variation on these as the last one i had in august was less punchy.
