1/1/2021 - agirlandherglass Likes this wine: 91 points

Lovely bright red fruits, showing in layers of fruit leather, ripe cherries and slight dried strawberries. There is a dark earth minerality, tobacco, floral components violet and small roses. Tannins are pretty finely woven but evident and well integrated. Finish is long, it is in a good place with well balance primary tertiary and secondary aroma/ flavors. It has a life ahead of it too. Check Back with other bottles in 3-5 years

On the nose distinctly an age in Nebbiolo, more tobacco, rosemary roses, new leather & a good dollop of potting soil. Palate has a lightness with tannins that are prevalent, and drying. The flavors and acidity supporting mostly primary cherry, plum, tar and a longer finish
Delicious

Nose is very earthy with thoughts of dried crushed leaves with dried berries, dark stones and broken sticks
Palate sustained the earthiness but joined it with both fresh blackberries and sweet toned plums. Ending with a slight spice. Tannins are fine acid is providing lift

Nose is a field of ripe red berries wrapped in dried leaves, alpine strawberries & hint of muted spice.

This full bodied petite Sirah has evolved to a dark berry medley that has hints of dark chocolates & stewed black cherries. Ripe with now moderate tannins that have resolved a bit and high alcohol that is knitting in nicely, just a slight frayed end.

Nose opens with prune, dried plum, a bit of anise, black cherry some fresh and dried muddy earth.
Palate flavors follow the aromas, with the addition of coffee, dark chocolate & leather. Tannins present and still quite structural, acidity and alcohol holding. Flavor intensity good thinking it is getting close to peakin the next 3-5 years.
