Bright purple red color. Ripe cherries and blueberries with hints of mint and black pepper. A fruitbomb in style and executed quite well to showcase shiraz's lesser sibling. The fruit is more dark cherries and chocolate, with spice and leather. A lithely tannic French roast finish. Surprisingly good, good QPR, and the second best Petite Syrah I've had after the 90 point 2006 Rutherglen.

Not the best Petite Sirah that I have ever had. Very little fruit and very dry. A bit past its prime.

Dark ruby in color. Notes of licorice and dark berry. Medium legs and finish. Great QPR.

I'm sorry but I really liked this. Especially for the price.
