OK, the label says PS but this has to be a field blend. Super dark as expected and dark black fruit flavor but there's some Zinfandel notes dominating the backend. Catching a bit of cigar box on the nose. Not bad, really. Used it in the wardens chicken cacciatore which added just the right amount of sweetness and color. Still holding together as you might expect for petite sirah so it'll last until 2015.

Approaching this bottle without regard for varietal correctness, I find it a tasty value for $3.99. Fairly strong tannins. Semi-sweet strawberry, oak, cherry, raspberry. Better than Blue Fin's stab at cheap pinot noir.

Bears no resemblance to Petit Syrah, unless there's a 12.5% ABV Kool-Aid. Tastes a bit like a mix between Sangria and Welch's grape punch. Sorry, Mr. Franzia.

More dry than I thought, has a fruity after taste and would do well with aeration.

OK to drink outside in Summer with chips or peanuts, not a dinner wine.
