  I don't normally like petite sirah but this is quite lovely. Lots of dark fruit with subtle hints of vanilla, chocolate and coffee. The palate is rich and delicious with good balance and nice acidity which is rare. Quite delicious.

  I don't drink much petite sirah, but this was pretty good. Lots of dark fruit with hints of chocolate and scorched earth. The palate is rich, ripe, yet not to the point that it seems like a fruit bomb. It maintains a lovely elegance and seems to just dance across the palate with lots of flavor. Quite tasty with steak.

  Black purple; dark berry fruits; tart, dusty, sour (in a good way). This needs years and years of cellar time to resolve. Promises to be a special wine for those willing to wait. Drinks now if you like the pucker which I do. Promising and witnesses the unique and personal handling of the winemaker - great signature to this wine.
