Cocoa and jelly beans on the nose. Flavors are developed and a bit lean, with an acidic framework housing blue fruits, pepper, a bit of hay. Very interesting and a change of pace.

Tight on opening, this was better after sitting vacuvined for a couple of nights. A deep, spicy, oaky, brambly blackberry emerged. Ready to go but do aerate if possible.

Inky maroon. Nose is full of black fruit. Black cherry, blackberry. Tannic at first. Long, tart finish that's a bit creamy at the very end. No rush here. Still has time. Drink now-2024.

Solid wine. Firm tannins. A kind of dusty element. Fairly typical for Petite Sirah.

Tight and astringent on first opening. Opened up nicely next day with warm dark fruit flavors and a bit of heat.
