January 21, 2022 - Deep purple color. Not much on the nose. Very tannic on the palate. Very drying up front but acidic on the back. Blueberries, cigar, spices, wood. Nice wine but this PS needs food desperately.

July 25, 2020 - Deep violet full body in the glass. Dark berry (blackberry), fig, plum, strawberry, tomato, graphite, on the nose. On the palate Dark berry, blackberry, plum, fig, cedar, tea, pepper, unsweetened chocolate. This 2013 Pet. Sirah is drinking very nicely right now. Extremely smooth, velvety, and well balanced. Full body, with the acidity and tannins of Petite Sirah, but extremely well balanced and smooth.
