Opened and served....very zinny nose of pepper, bramble and spice. Dark and jammy, with the Biale toast that I seem to recognize from them. Hoisin, blackberry jam, bruised strawberry palate....nearly overdone but right there on the line. Thick, dense, and solid.

Drinking window says it ends in 2015. This has lots of time ahead - could easily last a couple years beyond 2015. Great fruit on the nose, very little pepper, hint of sweetness. Full bodied on the palate with a nice lingering finish.

I felt it was still a bit young and could use two more years in the bottle.

Extremely smooth with good fruit, minerality from the syrah, and nice complexity and depth from the petite sirah
