Nice color, a little hot out of the bottle, but opened up after aeration. It seemed a fairly quick finish, but not unpleasant. Hints of black cherry and pomegranate

hedonistic sweet blackberry liqueur fruit; there is residual sugar, almost cloying at first blush, then the moderate tannins kick in and make this enjoyable; medium acidity, and any wood is in the background; would be great with ribs with a sl sweet BBQ sauce; i think that brandy was added to stop fermentation, but the high alcohol (19%) is barely noticeable under the fruit; my friends liked this better than i did.

Still showing well. Beautiful, deep garnet color.The heat has subsided, allowing the fruit to show off. Impressive with chocolate truffles.

Nice wine, great nose. Not as peppery as some petit sirah's. Would drink again.
