Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
This wine is made only when the grapes are right, in select vintages. 2013 was such a year. This dark wine smells delicious, with dark fruit challenged by oak spice, cedar and vanilla being the most prominent. The nose is complex, with notes of licorice, cinnamon and blackberry coming forth. Tobacco and chocolate abet those flavors on the palate. It’s 93% Petite Sirah and 7% Zinfandel, with mostly neutral oak use in the aging. Alcohol hits 14.5% abv and only 250 cases were made.

Jul 7th, 2016Deep, bright ruby, black cherries, dry, robust ripe tannins. Four square with deep dark red berry fruit, spice: cloves and cinnamon, all becoming juicier as the wine opens up in the glass. Slight bitterness on the finish.

Purple as hell. Almost like squid ink. It’s an exploding blackberry hand grenade.

Fantastic. Smooth. Tangy. Tingles the roof of my moth. Sweetly earthy, but not jammy at all. Dusty, but light tannins. Wow!
