Pacific Pointe Wine Tasting Club - Petite Sirah Smackdown; Round 2: Garnet color with slim mensicus, and earthy dark red fruits aromas. On the palate, it approaches medium-bodied is smooth, and well balanced with good acidity, and muted earthy cherry, raspberry flavors. Short finish.

Needed some time to show its fruit. The nose was quite complex. On the palate, it lacked concentration, with while the balance was actually good. Typical smoky, ash flavors. Not so long finish. Won't improve in bottle at this stage -so drink up!

Dinner at Maria's -- showing a bit leaner and tougher next to a flashy Gigondas, but still a great wine and excellent with food. Sleek dark minerals and bitter chocolate.

Smoky and earthiness. Depth of fruit lacking.

Pruney on the initial sip, but well balanced. Consumed late in the evening, so notes are vague.
