One of my last bottles of B&H firewater. This is better integrated than the last, but still not where my palate is today. Super dark and rich, with black fruit and just a touch of heat. Drink up.

Surprisingly fresh with bright mountain fruit acidity. Still lots of dusty tannic grip after 10 years in the cellar. But that's petite Sirah for ya. Classic black and blueberry fruit. Needs lamb.

Typical B&H style -- big, rip, full and fruity. Overall very good, but these are just less my style these days...

This is the Old Vines Petite Sirah. Finally found a B & H that was ready to drink 😂. Cherry cola, leather, blood, and varnish. Little hot on the finish or would have rated higher. Plastic cork? Almost blew out my spleen trying to pull it out with a $2.00 gas station corkscrew.

Heres a monster. PS ages at a glacial pace and this wine has a long life with jammy fruit and wonderful balance with cocoa notes smoke and flavors that went on for weeks. Drink over the next two decades.

From a time when wine was intended to put hair on your chest, a 15.9% oak bomb!
