Dark inky color, huge, intense, full bodied - thick chewy tongue-coating black fruits - blackberry, cassis, black raspberry, ripe plum finishing with essence of blueberry, blackberry liquor, glycerin and touch of smoke. Became more approachable as it was opened longer and had time to soften and settle.

A great big wine that softened and improved greatly with a bit of time in the glass. Dark, almost black color with black fruit notes and a bit of oak. Medium finish. This wine is big enough to take on strong food flavors including mustard, catsup and tomato sauce based food. Should improve over the next two years.

Always one of my favorite $25 Petite Sirah. This deep, dark wine has tons of personality and depth for the price. Purple teeth and an interesting finish await you.

Still rich, fruit-forward and seriously tooth-staining. Holding up very well.

Very dark, inky and tar-like fruit. Dry finish but long and silky. Excellent flavor and rich texture. Good with the chocolate cake
