Perhaps the best petite sirah I've had. Obviously this is a big wine, but also smooth, with no sign of either alcohol or sugar, and well-integrated tannins. Dark fruits, and really notable sandalwood. At its best on 2nd night, but excellent the first too. I don't think this will get any better with time, but I see no sign of its demise either.

Wow, for $30 this is really an amazing bottle of wine. Dark and crystalline color. Super concentrated dark fruits. Wonderful balance with background tannin and a just right touch of acidity. Wish I had more. Drink or hold.

Found in back of cellar. P n p. Big as expected. Somewhat monolithic. Big dark fruits. Tannins still present. Held up to lamb dinner. Still alive on night 2.

Mostly dark fruit: raisins, dark cherries. Reminiscent of cherry cola, maybe. Rather pleasant but not special. Time to drink up if you got any.

This wine was good but had almost too much concentrated fruit. I am going to hold my last bottle a few years to see if the fruit fades a little.
