Not quite drinking as good as it was last year, but still nice. A pleasant combination of black currant, violet, green pepper and cedar notes. Bold yet smooth. Goes well with spicy food.

I am a huge fan of this vintage as well as all vintages of Stags' Leap Petite Syrah in both their white and black label. Unfortunately though the bottle I opened has lost its luster.
Bottle has been properly stored since release and the cork was in great shape. No corkage on the nose but sadly all the fruit has dropped out of the wine. Its sadly just passed its prime. Sad day....one of my dollar for dollar all time favorite wines and I have a still have seventeen bottles left...

Good but very short finale. Was expecting more for the price.

Bold tannins with blueberries, leather and smoke. Aggressive and seductive. Nice with cheese, charcuterie and grilled meat.
