This rich intense wine is a melange of 90% Petit Sirah, 7%CS, 3%merlot, the color is Inky purple, medium - full body with firm tannins and jazzy acidity. The nose is a fin mix of sweet spices, cloves, licorice, dried plums, and vanilla, the finish is long and lingering. My score 87, drink to 2017.

Not too heavy. Nice on its own and probably with steak or pasta too

Very berry. Spicy finish. Sweet but in a wintertime cider sweet type of way.

Is this supposed to be dessert wine? Tastes like raisins covered in sugar.

Fruity at the beginning with a smoky finish

This is a smooth Petite Sirah with strong hints of plum, cherries and chocolate. A nice, lengthy finish too!

Francis Ford Coppola's best wine in production. It is good warm and cooled to 68 degrees. Make sure you have more than one bottle before you uncork the first because you and your friends are sure to enjoy.
