  Deep purple/red colour, completely opaque. A gluey nose, fairly tight with a hint of rich plums when you swill the wine in the glass. When tasting you immediately get the sweetness and fruit forward nature of this wine. Almost like a weak port. Lots of plumy notes with peppery notes. Some tannins which lead to a medium finish. A little sickly.
  
  This wine got a mixed reaction at the wine tasting I brought it to. For some it was the best wine of the night, for others it was brash and too sweet. It's a matter of taste I guess.

  Lovely deep red, dark and opaque. Aroma of smoke and definite oak on the nose. Dark fruit and some cherry with a great smooth tannin structure. Mid finish. Lovely wine which would be great with stews and other hearty foods.

  Deep Purple. Powerful strawberry and current nose. Complex black fruit flavors. Nice medium mouth-feel that lingers. Overall this is a nice wine but it definitely shows its lower latitude origin - jammy fruit and a little flat on the palate almost like syrup. Again, good wine, but not a crisp palate cleanser. Good by itself.

  I drank my first sip within just a few minutes of opening the bottle. The vapors were overpowering making the taste less than desireable. I put down the glass and reappoached it 30 mins later. The vapors had died down and the taste was complex. I finished the glass with just an average opinion about what I had just consumed. Day 2 = This is where EOS Petite Sirah gets its 90 point rating from me. The plum color is beautiful. The vapors are all gone and replaced with a pleasent nose. Like smelling a rose. The taste is a basket of plums and yum. Directions should be included with this bottle. Poor into a glass and don't even think of tasting this for an hour. On day 2, you'll love it.
