Community Tasting Notes 15

    January 29, 2017 - Deep opaque purple, amber at the edge. Spice, cassis and blackberry leather notes on the nose. Silky tannins and breezy acidity made for a cleansing mouthfeel. Dark berry, spice and wood mulch flavors are nicely balanced. Medium long finish.

    April 16, 2014 - A bold nose of dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A full bodied bold PS, with blackberry, blueberry, cassis, dark chocolate and spice on long finish, it took hours in a decant to get there, was too harsh right out of the bottle. Give it a long decant to enjoy wine at it’s best, still young. www.winelx.com

    August 9, 2013 - Wow, this is really rocking now. After a couple hours open it is delivering just about everything I could imagine a Petite Sirah should. I've tasted a lot of Daou's juice and this ranks right up there.
