All the deep color and fruit you expect from CA petite sirah, but much higher-toned and fresh. Harvested a little earlier than most, fermented naturally to under 14% ABV. This is drinking magnificently right now!

Oct 20th, 2014Definitely some funk on this wine, reminiscent of Northern Rhone. Black fruit, espresso, dark chocolate, big tannins and acidity, and animale notes.

Sep 27th, 2014Inky! Dark and brambly fruit, but super fresh acidity to balance. Roasted meat, toasty oak, provencale herbs and sweet tannins. Big steak please!

This wine is really pure and delicious. The tannins are pretty massive right now but are ripe and after a day or 2 soften up. This will be amazing in 10 years. I love the Todd Bros. Petit Sirahs.
