  Always a great Petite Sirah that never disappoints. Last bottle of this vintage in our cellar and it held up well. Perfect beef BBQ pairing. Unctuous balanced goodness with long finish!

  Popped and poured. This is a very-dark, almost black, wine, one with significant tongue-decimating capacity. I got some significant bottle sediment toward the end, so decanting is recommended. On the nose, I get deep blueberry essence, roasted black fruits, and ash. In the mouth, this is rich and dense, with some slightly sweet elements, and a finish on which the dark fruits linger with some remaining intermixed tannin. Overall, this is a wine in full Beast Mode. Although it touches some Port-like elements at moments, it is an honest and sincere wine. This is a solid mixture of grape, land, and year, as it should be. 90 points.

  The inky black goodness was delicious. Hearty.

  Almost black with magenta edges. Plum, clove and wet leather nose. Full bodied, blueberries, black cherries, white pepper, violets, well integrated dry tannins, smoke, good acid, and a medium to long finish. Ready to go now, but with a lot of time left too.
