Sweet and very fruity on the nose.
Full-bodied and bold with medium minus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity, with nice complexity.

Sweet finish with fine grained tannins.
This 9 year old Petite Sirah from California is enjoyable by itself or with food. Elegant and smooth. Fruit forward and robust.
Very much in your face kind of wine, although, I expected it to calm down by now. Feels more like a California Syrah at this point.

Small production. RSV has under 200 acres of vineyards in 5 Carneros locations & a winery in the Stags Leap District. The wines are 100% organic. Ruby with berry, cherry & spice aromas. On the palate flavors of wild strawberry & cherry with complex spice, citrus, oak and balanced acidity. Fine soft tannins, good balance, long finish with an earthy characteristic ending with notes of vanilla spice. Nice! — a month ago
Really fine juice. Gorgeous, unmistakable Pinot aromatics. Creamy strawberry, wild cherries and raspberries. Wet leaves and forest decay. Palate is smooth, silky, and creamy in character with oak in the right place. Polished. Called Sonoma Pinot blind. Hella’ tasty. — 3 months ago

Consistent with last bottle from a few years ago. In a great spot. Softer, rounder and more fruit forward than the Sonoma coast bottling tried side by side — a month ago
