Inky black and delicious! More luscious than Rutherglen durif the tannin much softer. Lovely Friday night drinking. — 2 years ago
Dark and stormy purple in the glass. Smells herbal with a touch of mineral oils/citrus extract. Flavors are savory and succulent. Bacon bits with blackberry jam and elderberry syrup. Tannic. Dense. Big. But it’s complex and true. Slightly fruit forward. A lovely Petite Sirah (aka Durif in France). Pretty close in flavors to the field blend known as Petite Sirah from Berryessa Gap, but the stand alone in blended one is a bit more tannic. Less smooth. Ruddy-er. But still amazing. — 4 months ago
See previous review. I’m trying it again to see how it differed from the 2017 Durif from Berryessa Gap Vineyards. This Petite has Primitivo and Peloursin in as a field blend. The Durif is straight Petite Sirah.
This wine is juicy, big and complex. It’s not showing much softening from age, but it’s a lovely red as I mentioned in my previous review of the 2017. — 4 months ago
