1 person found it helpfulOct 11th, 2014I'll preface my comment with noting I am not a petite sirah drinker when it is the dominant grape (usually too overpowering on its own). While this is also the deep deep purple typical of petite Sirah, it had a much lighter mouthfeel than expected and tannins were resolved. Almost silky. So kudos on this effort.

Nov 20th, 2016Dark red, bold dry medium bodied. Pepper finish. Great out of the bottle but opened up after 30-60 minutes. Excellent pairing with Ribeye, mushrooms and family.
