Note the date: we opened this 12-year bottle and were shocked.
Delicious.
Still dark purple, no real amber at the edges. That usually means the fruit is still there, and it was. A little harsh on the tongue, but that softened soon after uncorking. The finish was a little flat, but otherwise a wonderful drink.
The last of the case - too bad.

Not a wine that will change your life, but it has a solid QPR and improved nicely with some open bottle time. Has that nice dark Petite Sirah color, a reasonably nice bouquet, however it does flatten out at the end. As people scrape around for solid $10 wine values this one will work for many.

Deep purple with red around the edges. Strong scents of dark fruits. Very jammy with great tastes of black cherry (any maybe black raspberry) with well-rounded tannins.

Very dark red in color. Forward, intense red fruit, good balance. Not real complex and or spicy. Very easy drinking.
