Strained into decanter, drank 2 hrs later. Was sediment in bottle. Elegant, silky smooth with a full bodied finish. Paired very well with a reserve cheddar, dried sausage and grilled rack of lamb. This wine drank very well.

Blah. Basic boring red fruit. Some spice, though it mostly comes across as undesirable heat. Purple berries. Blueberry, boysenberry. Nothing too noteworthy. Pass.

Popped and poured with friends. Dark. Unremarkable nose; might've needed some air. Ripe blueberries on the palate. A bit thin on the finish. Does give a hint of acidity on the extreme back-end. Good QPR.

The lighter side of PS. Although classic deep/dark PS color, on the palate this is relatively light, especially on the mid-palate. Nice nose and flavors of plum, blackberry and spice, with a fairly abreviated finish.

After letting the bottle breathe for a bit, the nose seemed somewhat mute with a hint of alcohol. On the palate, there isn't a whole lot of structure with a medium finish. The tannins are present and the taste is unusual in that it starts ever so slightly sweet to only finish with just a hint of bitterness. Based on this experience, there are better petite sirahs to be had at this price point if not cheaper.
