The usual D&R liveliness, but with a bit more heft. Great pairing with pesto ravioli.

Lovely but I should have had the patience to wait a few years. Brilliant and fresh with the hard edge you'd expect

9.8 because I dare the winemaker to make better Petite Sirah. Yes I am a friend and therefore should be biased... But I have had such little appreciation for the droves of PS I've tried, that this stands out in such a significant, but not "too loud" way. Seeing winemakers adapt to each vintage and make something remarkable is what has me fully ensnared.

2013. And has many years left. Let this thing open up. For a minimum of 30 minutes. Minimum! It opens up like nothing from N. Cali. There's black cherry and overripe blackberry and some cigar box and leather and on and on. One of the most complex new world small production wines I've had. Wish I had a case. The tannins are some of the most elegant and smooth I've ever had. A truly one of kind beautiful wine.
