Mr. Big Estate Grown Destiny Ridge Vineyards Petite Sirah 2021

This is a delicious PetS, not too jammy. It has intense blueberry and raspberry flavors, with that distinctive undertone, peculiar to Washington reds, and tastier than it sounds,, of chocolate-covered mushrooms. — 24 days ago

Destiny Ridge Vineyard Petite Sirah 2020

Dark inky in color with a short purple rim. Teeth staining color.

Strong nose of black fruits, dark chocolates, light barnyard, light vanilla, light cedar, licorice and herbs.

Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and cherries.

This is a very nice Petite Sirah from Horse Haven Hills in Washington State. Probably my first Petite Sirah from this region.

Shows a little differently than a California Petite Sirah. The Syrah's contribution in this blend is very noticed, especially on the nose.

Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and 'in your face' kind of wine. Not for the faint of hearts.

A good quality wine, and a good wine to have with friends. Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Syrah. Aged in (35% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

I have an unopened bottle of this as well, thanks for reviewing so I can continue to cellar it!

One question: is that pic just extremely distorted, or did you somehow obtain an ANC “growler”? 😸

Not distorted but a large glass

Nicole Rosso Toscana IGT Sangiovese

Hales? This was excellent. Soft, cherries, smooth, some depth and body without being too punchy. Didn't feel a 13.5% ABV. This was delightful and it seems to be very reasonably priced if you can get it. — 2 months ago

Petite Sirah 2019

Dark color. Not quite India ink, but deep maroon. Smells like blueberry pudding and heavy cream. Hint of fresh chopped redwood bark. Flavors are dense with a classic petite Sirah inky-ness with blueberry syrup and purple plum compote. This is a big delicious red. Drink with red meats, grilled. Or hard, salty cheeses. — 5 months ago

Block 17 Estate Grown Destiny Ridge Vineyards Syrah 2021

This is a very tasty, Northern Rhône style Syrah from Horse Haven Hills in Washington state.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Showing black fruits with light oak, vegetables, herbs, chocolates, coffee, tobacco leaf, spices and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Still young and needs a year or two in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Syrah grapes were aged in (29% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

Sergeant Pepper Estate Grown Destiny Ridge Vineyards Carménère 2020

Although this wine is always going in and out of style, it is guaranteed to raise a smile. I only wish this bottle was a vintage from 20 years ago today! It is perfectly balanced, medium bodied, with less pepper and more smoothness than the name might suggest. It went well with light Italian cuisine. — 4 months ago
