40+ years and still chewy and oaky. From the odds and ends portion of my cellar. This was the last year they did a Petite Sirah, after that the grapes went into the RM Red blend. Have to say this has aged pretty well, color is sound and the structure and acid balance are there, the flavor beyond the oak is brown sugar with some minor fruit. It will make really good vinegar. The bottle was quite intact, less that 1/2 inch ullage, cork sound, storage has been my cellar for its life beyond the winery.
