I don’t drink a lot of petit sirah, so I don’t have much basis for comparison. I did love it, though. Fruit forward, a bit musty, but in a good way. I was looking for something a bit off the beaten path, and I got it.

Great valued #petitesirah stereotypical color. Very shiny, oily appearance. Aromas of dark wild berries. Lacking tannin, TA is more prominent. Flavor is front loaded. Full bodied, light cassis and trace of tart grape.

Has opened up nicely.

Lots of dark tart fruit up front, but of old rag and earth and Spivey finish. Soft with some vanilla and sarsaparilla. An honest wine, if a bit lacking in tannins and structure.
