Lighter red than the other wines in this tasting. Raspberry nose. A little bit medicinal. Plums, mushrooms. Very tasty. Tasted blind. Correctly guessed as a Zin.

1992 La Jota Petite Sirah USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain
91 points
Darker red than the other wines in the lineup. Fantactic nose with a good concentration of fruits and herbs. Refreshing palate. Tannic. Still feels like a young wine. Tasted blind. Correctly guessed as a Petite Sirah.

Nice raspberry aroma with a little bit of brett (borderline acceptable). Lots of brett on the palate (too much). Tasted blind. Correctly guessed as a Syrah.
