From Suisin Valley AVA. Dark purplish red. Sweet blackberry fruit, cocoa and nutmeg in the nose. Well-balanced in the mouth, with ripe black fruit, subtle spices and mouth-watering acidity. Nice length too. Amazingly elegant for Petite Sirah! Matthew Rorick is my friend !! Abv 13,7%. 47 cases only.

13 years old and quite holding on. Resolved tannins make it very accessible. Earthy, perfumed and with good acidity. Really fine.

I do love this wine. Floral, dark fruit core but bright acidity that really makes it lively and excellent with food.
