March 4, 2021 - Dark purple with a few ruby streaks. Blue fruit, cedar and cola nose. Medium bodied, bunches of blackberries, spices, black cherries, silky tannins, smoke, and a long, dry, blueberry and pepper infused finish. One of the best Petite Sirah's I've had.

November 30, 2019 - Jammy fruit on the nose. Ripe strawberry acidity on the front of the palate with a finish that lingers and leaves you wanting more. Tannic and bold and structured it’s everything a Napa zin wants to be with none of the fluffy fattiness. This shit is nuts. Top 3% of wines I’ve had hands down. -Jase

May 20, 2019 - Last of 9 bottles. Decanted and consumed over the next few hours. Seemed to soften after about an hour but I still enjoy the robust tannins when first poured. Elegant and rich but beginning to show some age. Drink up.
