Pretty fun for an 11 yr old PS with the only downfall being that it is a little one dimensional. Powerful and dark with tannins that tell me this would keep for another 5 yrs at least. Nice nose but the palate falls a bit flat and the finish isn't long.

Petite Sirah - when not overdone offers a beautiful complex nose: dark brooding fruit, coffee mocha tobacco spice dusty - nice and sturdy the only problem is lack of cohesion from palate to finish. Extremely dark & young tasting @ 10 yrs old

What a great wine. Bought this one 12 years ago. Still fresh, beautifully well balanced and not over powering.

Great wine and fantastic vineyard. Great with a red sauce and mama Ferraro's Sunday gravy!
