Still needed about 2 hours decanting. Loads of dark berry fruit, some tobacco and cocoa nibs near the finish. If you are looking a big, bold Cali red, this would do the trick.

Wow. In a great place right now. Balanced, great fruit and well integrated. Great right out of the bottle, but it did improve a bit as the night went on. Glad I have one more!

Time for a word association game. Okay, when I say JC Cellars Petite Sirah, you shout out the first word that comes to mind. So…the word is...BIG! Very inky, broad shouldered, and supercharged with obvious notes of blueberry, blackberry and a big whiff of vanilla backing it all up. When Jeff Cohn secured his supply of grapes from the Frediani Vineyard he produced one powerful rendition of this amazing varietal. Then comes those bombastic flavors of super ripe dark plum and even more flavor packed blackberry spreading out on the palate. Yummy flavors framed by round tannins punctuated by a gentle mineral component. I am smitten with this wine! Did I mention the one thought that persisted while enjoying this one? How did Cohn get this massive wine into this little bottle? Charlie Sheen said it best with one word that describes this wine-WINNING!

Nice cotton-candy nose, rich palate. More of a Syrah flavor than a more syrupy Petie Sirah. nice finish. No rush to finish bottles. Short decant ok
