Not as spectacular as the award winning 16 vintage, but a solid wine, fruit forward, and balanced.

Great wine. Insane wine if you consider the price. Wine Spectator ‘18 Top 100, and it is only ten bucks.

Happy Friday! I popped open this very nice, full bodied, dark plum colored Petite Sirah. Right off the bat I smelled notes of dark fruit. A little tannic but has a nice finish with blueberry and blackberry on the tongue. I probably should have decanted but I was too anxious to open it! Cheers!

I've tasted this #wine numerous times over the years. Upon release, the tannins and acid are prominent with ample fruit the rest of the way. You'll typically find P Sirah a year or two behind other varietal vintages to help mellow out the tannins. This vintage, not necessary.

Dark wild berry aromas with faint blue flowers. The color is dark and slightly inky. The palate has supple diminishing fruit. Tannins are moderate minus and quick. The friendliest vintage I've tasted from them. Opened 11/16/15
