Amazing! Dark, brooding, blackberry blossom aroma. Lively fruit with full bodied, complex tannin. Length really opened up with food. Cork was perfect!

Dark, inky, leathery, spicy with loads of blackberry. Firm tannins and a long finish. This is how Petite Sirah should taste.

Deep red, almost purple with big blue/black fruit aromas and zesty floral spice. The palate is full of fresh fruit, blueberry and blackberry with sweet cinnamon flavors. Firm but approachable tannins for this full body wine that lingered with a racy edge. Great value at $20 that may possibly keep in the cellar for a few years of you dare.

Dry petite sirah. Couldn't be more different from the jammy, earth shattering fruit of the sourced lot petite sirah. More nuanced, more calculated, more rewarding.

A classic petite sirah that opens up nicely with some air. Leather and spice & dark berries.

Trying something new with the wifey. Fruit forward with a little bite on the back end. Needs to let it breath for a bit. I can actually taste the slight peppery undertones.
