August 22, 2015 - If you are looking for a great value Petite Sirah then Rosenblum is your wine. They do a great PS. Great nose and well balanced with a moderate-long finish. Even aged ten years this has sustained itself and has aged nicely into a delicate and enjoyable wine. Not many other under $20 reds are able to achieve this.

February 4, 2015 - Not a wine designed to age, but after ten years, this one has gained some real depth and maturity that makes it a joy to drink. Still a bit of a fruit bomb, with intense flavors of dark fruits and lots of vanilla. But the fruit is more rounded and integrated than when young, there's a touch of madiera, and an extra layer of elegance. The flavors are still powerful enough to need a good steak, or other grilled red meat, or strong cheese to balance them out and tone them down a little. But properly paired, this wine is excellent now!
