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!

2010 is drinking really well right now. Plush and fresh balanced with some tar and spice. Softer tannins than are typical for Alexander Valley, drink up Johnny!

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

Inky! 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.

The perfect match to my pasta dinner! I'm too impatient to let these delicious wines age more...
