Maroon surrounding a black abyss. Oak spice, bramble, and plum nose. Medium to full bodied, tart blackberries, dusty herbs, sharp black cherries, well structured tannins, good acid, smoke, and a long finish. Rustic and delicious.

Color still bright cherry right to the edges, no cloudiness 5/5 Nose still high in alcohol, nice fruit with no off putting aromas. Nothing special either 11/15 After decanting an hour, still hot in the mouth but with nice jammy fruits, not too lush/big, but just right. 13/20 14.9% alc May have been a fudge, but definitely doesn’t seem any different than the day it was released. Clearly I could have held this another 3-5 years. 7/10

One of the finest Petite Sirahs from Sonoma County, Foppiano, with their flagship bottling, do not disappoint. Black cherry, fresh tar, rose petal, honeyed cashews and blackberry. Very toned and sumptuous layers, with a velvety finish. Tannic, but still quite approachable: the wine regardless beckons the cellar. You can olnly procure this noir goddess at the tasting room or as a member of their wine club. Drink 2018 - 2033.
