Dark purple color. Primarily Petite Syrah (90%) with a bit of (10%) Syrah. Young and fruit forward but with a nice combination of elegance and power. Bursting with aromas and flavors of blackberry, anise, baking spices and dark chocolate. Hint of orange peel on the long and fruit forward finish. Big and burly! Thank You Keith S!

A little earthy on the nose. Full bodied, dark purple in color, very tannic. 85% Petite Sirah 15% Syrah. From one of my favorite 🇺🇸 regions Paso Robles. Needs a good decant.

Big, ripe, sweet, oaky, pruny and overdone. Like sassafras and chocolate syrup. Not my thing at all.

really enjoy Petite Sirah but it's hard to find - this is a PS dominated blend: initially passed on this due to gimmicky label but wine guy raved about it, so here we are: decent presentation of the varietal: gobs of black fruit - blackberry, plums even prunes, boysenberry, cassis, spice cake and lots of other goodies. plush & suave on mid-palate, plenty of fruit but not one dimensional (which is why I love PS). well made and decent QPR

Smells like blackberry and calendula (a sort of amber/herbal flavor) - or perhaps it is echinacea. Definite licorice. Tastes as it smells - licorice, herbs, dark berries, lovely mouthfeel. Some chocolate. This is really good. Not my favorite style, but a good example. Good deal! Reminds me a bit of the much higher rated, much more expensive (MUCH more expensive) Aperture cabernet.

Cherry and spice are the lost prominent flavors.

Definitely impressed with these Chronic Cellars wines. Strong flavor for the money. In your face Petite Sirah, not refined but loads of umph. Blackberry jam. Paired this with some tri tip.
