15 years of aging. Opens up quickly and delivers a great experience. Slightly tobacco nose with a smooth and not too dry taste, very cherry and raspberries.

Dark cherry and a hint of alcohol on the nose. Very refined on the palate with a slow building dark cherry flavor finish mated with soft tannins and good acidity.Paired nicely with grilled flank steak. Not as complex as other vintages I have had but very nice nonetheless. Drink now or hold for another few years.

Opened and immediately poured. Tight nose upon first exposure, but blossomed nicely with 10 minutes of exposure to air. It showed a beautiful dark color, very youthful. The components of the wine have come into balance, creating an elegant soft black fruit elixir. This is not a big in-your-face fruit bomb, but rather a beautiful expression of what Petite Sirah can be. Building excitement in the mouth, it had a long, lingering finish. Although it will likely hang on for another 10 years, it's ready to drink now and I don't see it getting any better.
