  Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim. Not showing much age.
  
  Nose of black currants, black plums, raisins, dried figs, vanilla, cedar, cola, coffee, spices, chocolates, earth, vegetables, herbs, eucalyptus, turmeric, peppercorn, celery, graphite and alcohol. What a wonderful nose.
  
  Medium plus in body with high acidity and fat legs.
  
  Sweet on the palate with nice balance and nice length on the finish.
  
  This 13 year old sweet wine from Napa Valley is drinking so beautifully right now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
  
  Showing great complexity at this point, with lots of chocolate and coffee notes, intertwined with spices and earth notes.
  
  This Single Vineyard is interesting and tasty. A great wine to finish the evening with. Smooth and elegant. Just fabulous.
  
  100% Petite Sirah grapes were aged in oak barrels for 30 months.
  
  19% alcohol by volume.
  
  95 points.
  
  $90.

  Think desert in a bottle, so rich and wonderful. Kept it in the cellar and enjoyed it for months.
