Parducci Tasting (Ukiah, CA): This is the best True Grit Petite Sirah I've tasted so far. Inky black-purple color with thunder thighs in the glass. Huge nose of blackberry puree and boysenberry but there are also some potpourri and lavender aromas that rock. Dense and lush on the palate with firm, grippy tannins. The plum and boysenberry fruit is rich and pure, and accented by notes of grilled steak, earth and charcoal. Long, dusty finish. This is a really young wine that would benefit from a decant, but it's beautiful stuff. One of the best Petite Sirahs I've had in a long time.

Well-balanced, huge wine. Tons of acid. Beef tartare and prunes on the palate. Enjoyable now, but would love to see it in 2 years.
