April 30, 2018 - Color: deep ruby hues with similar tinge. Transparent.
Nose: smoky red fruit and slight pepper.
Flavor: smoky, moldy bright fruit up front, followed by more smoke, slight fresh oak, pepper. Middle is really non-existent - watered down is a description that comes to mind; no tannin development; light overall mouth feel. Finish is fresh and linger is longer than expected - 25-30 seconds. Very light bodied. Off dry.
Very fruit forward, very light bodied. Different from other single varietal petite sirah bottles have had, but again, this is from PA. Not a bad thing all in all - this would be a wonderful example of "summer red." It's light and fresh, great complimenter for grilled pork/chicken bbq dishes. Given it's nature, recommend to drink now versus waiting. Unlikely to improve with age, and more likely to fall flat. QPR isn't great. Good to drink 30 min after opening, better to let it sit half a day.
