  January 20, 2014 - Through the vinturi into the decanter for over an hour, fines in the bottle. In the glass: Inky garnet, slow thin legs. On the nose: Initially, wet pavement, tobacco, hot spice, currant, plum. Opened up some to black cherry. In the mouth: Medium mouth feel, good concentration of the nose, dry squeaky tannins in the middle which softened some in the glass, weenzy tart/bitter on the decent finish. Some heat pokes through. Its getting better.

  January 13, 2014 - Through the vinturi into the decanter 45 mins. In the glass: Inky garnet almost black, pink edge, long thin legs, dregs in the filter. On the nose: Plums, currant, bramble, minerals, whiff of petrol. In the mouth: Medium mouth feel, good concentration of the nose, tart blackberry, some dry tannins in the middle, weenzy bitter and some heat pokes through in the medium finish. I'm not sure what previous reviews called "bacon" or "harsh acidity". I didn't detect any of that. Perhaps it just needed more bottle age and/or decanting. Its not super complex, but there is nothing to complain about and everything I'd expect in a petite sirah. Have the rest of a case to finish, so we'll revist!

  January 4, 2013 - Tasted a week ago when a friend served redfish cooked on the BBQ with special herbs and butter! Surprising it was a lot smoother than expected for a P.S. and actually paired well maybe due to the sauce. Today I used a Vinturi aerator and didn't see much difference. It was served with lamb shank and also paired well. I guess age does make a difference. For the price you can't go wrong.

  January 6, 2010 - Hum,, have got to say that we liked it a lot better about a year ago. On the front side it's harsh/acidic with the mid palate taste of bacon, (my wife stated the nose was all about bacon) It's a big red but little to enjoy at least this time around. Will pump it and see what another day brings to it's personality.

  October 3, 2009 - Deep dark color you would expect with a petite sirah. Other than that this is fairly forgettable. Taste reminds me of bacon fat and Dr. Pepper. Pass the next time and go for the cheaper Bogle.
