Loaded with black fruit, on the nose. Blackberries and blueberries carry through on the palate with underlying chocolate notes. Finish is long and strong with a teeny alcohol spike.

(Angel Vine Petite Sirah Stone Tree Vineyard Columbia Valley) Dark in color. Lightly aromatic with bittersweet chocolate, stewed plum, and a light herbal note. The palate is enormous in volume, tart with a firm, grainy scaffolding of tannins that takes on all comers and leaves no man standing. Not for the faint of heart but a fascinating, enjoyable example of this seldom seen variety from one of the state’s top vineyards. Alcohol shows through at times. 100% Petite Sirah. Aged in French and Hungarian oak. 15% alcohol. 50 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

It was okay. Nothing to write home about, but certainly drinkable. I'd probably buy it, but not at a very high price point (i.e. $20 or less).
