  Last bottle of a case acquired over 2015. Really nice Petite Sirah that is about at the end of the drink window for sure. Dark cherry, smooth, integrated, and a long finish. If properly cellared, you can hold this for another year or two, but I would drink up. Enjoy!

  Dark ruby with moderate legs. Dark fruit, plum, and vanilla on the nose. Lighter than I would have expected on the palate. Cherry and ripe blueberry on the plate. Smooth, slightly spicy finish. This wine may have aged a little too long.

  Black cherries, a hint of plum, slightly elevated tannins and acidity (but standard for a sirah). Long finish! This wine is peaking so with this is in your cellar, drink now or within the year.

  Med deep red with a little brick.
  The nose is a little developed. Opens up over one or two hours. Toasty. Blueberry glaze and curry spice.
  Surprising the palate is mid weight. Fresh acidity. Some flesh with an even mid palate texture and good length. Tar and black fruit.
  Solid wine. A little more developed than anticipated.
