  February 1, 2020 - Solid petite in a good drinking window, but no hurry here. Would not pay the $75 release price, as there are better options for less.

  January 2, 2019 - Ive long waited to try Chase wines. Tasted the 2012 and 2013 petite sirah side by side. Big, rich, complex wines. Perfect for a cold day in late December. The noses were really similar, but a bit more of a menthol quality to the 2012. It was just a touch thinner in body, but firm tannins. The 2013 featured more pronounced fruit (plum) and fuller, but without as much tannic structure. Altogether they were very similar and tasting blind it was hard to tell apart. I'd gladly buy more of these!

  February 4, 2017 - I had a head cold so was not able to fully appreciate the flavour and depth of the wine. This wine was 3rd in the line up after the 2012 Zin and the 2013 Cab from Chase.
  
  The Petite Syrah was interesting as it had more black fruit, than the other two, along with vegetation, but more earth than the other two. A lot of depth that appeared after 20-30 minutes. All of these wines need to be decanted for 40-60 minutes.
