  This intensely fruit-forward wine is a bit over the top! It lacks a solid backbone and feels too heavy and off balance. There is hardly any acidity or tannins to speak of. The nose is the one thing I enjoyed; tobacco, forest floor, and mushroom. But overall a big disappointment, especially considering the price.

  Decanted for an hour plus while group was drinking another wine. Thick, deep purple. Solid fruit. Significant complexity. Very enjoyable.

  Decanted 2+ hours. Deep blackish purple. Blackberries, plums and licorice. Was not as interesting as I remembered it from last summer. Still, a solid petite sirah.

  At tasting with restaurant staff before season opening. Pop & pour. After many so, so wines, pulled this from rack at dessert time. Staff loved the tart, thick fruit and chocolate. Was amazing with a chocolate volcano dessert.
