Downhill alert - drink up. Not overly tannic at this stage, but there is less fruit and concentration than I remember, even though my last TN on this is only 8 months prior.

Decanted 1 hour, plenty of sediment in the bottle. Full bodied without crossing the line to inky, crunchy or flabby. Concentrated blackberry jam and smoke, with a good finish that belies its price. Tannins are just beginning to subside, and this will only get better for years. Just a really solid, fresh wine, what I've come to expect from Matt Cline.

One dimensional, but not corked like my previous bottle. Wine Access sells a lot of wines from Three Wine Company and the write-ups are enticing, but I worry based on the bottle variation and simplicity of the petite sirah. Held up nicely on night 2.
3 on the AF scale.

Heavy sediment. Deep color and long legs. Blackberry notes but tannins outweigh the fruit. Doubt it will improve with any more age.

I'm not a big P.S. fan, but I liked this. Better second day.
