Yes this was amazing...nice black fruit with a constant undercurrent of cassis and licorice. Thought I would have to decant based on other petite sirah that I have had - but this hit the ground running right out of the get go. Very nice - a real treat.

One of my treasured special bottles. Elegant, sophisticated, smooth, masterful blend of dark berry and smoke and earth and a hint of juniper. A vintage I wish I'd invested way more in. Superb.

Thanksgiving 2013; 11/26/2013-11/30/2013 (Colorado): Medium dark magenta color, long legs. Nose was fresh and clean, crushed dark fruits, hints of leather and smoke, subtle trace of grapeseed, almost like this is a Cab blend. Palate is dark and jammy but not hot, woody herbs, even tannins. Lasting and complete, really balanced. You would not know this was Petite Sirah without the label, tastes like Napa Cab blend. Excellent winemaking, drinking nicely now.

In a great place. Deep dark color. Nice black fruit with smooth tannins. Still mouth staining. Great wine.
