I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Petite Sirah but a 12 year old from a great producer? This rocks! The tannins have mostly settled down. The fruit is still there, going a little bit more towards the earthy and mineral side. Bold and delicious. I’m glad I waited. — 10 months ago
Shout out to winespies for bringing this bottle to my attention. I’m a Rockpile fan (great, but small, AVA in north Sonoma) and when I saw that Clay Mauritson was one of the winemakers, had to grab this one. Dark berries, both black and Gwen pepper, chalk, earth tones and more come through with this. Tannins were softer than expected. If you haven’t had a Rockpile Zin, try it! — 3 years ago
Lots of delicate fruit, some nice structure, good acid and refreshing — a year ago
Brought home from a CA trip, finally opened and find it quite nice! As others have mentioned there are chocolate and “jammy” notes. Quite nice indeed. — 4 years ago
Loved it! — 9 months ago
My favorite red of the day. Super chocolate-y. Dark cassis, maybe some coffee notes too. — a year ago
Rich style of Cab Franc. Light on the vegetal notes. Holding up strong! — 2 years ago
Typical dry creek fruit & just coming into prime without tannins softening. — 4 years ago
