Quite opaque dark in glass. Fennel- floor forest and butcher shop aroma when nosed. Chalky dark cherry medium tannin fruity taste which lingers and lingers. I will wait to drink my next bottle. Already good, but soon to be wonderful... that’s my prediction! Nearly a “9” now, but movin’ on up, methinks, to 9.4 or more in a year or two!!

This wine is dark and brooding. Chalky dark fruit on the nose. Cured meat and dark subtle fruit on the palate. Full bodied. Really nicely nuanced after it opened up. Decanted for 2 hours.

A very smooth, full-bodied Petite Sirah. Grgich calls it a Petit Verdot because it is made with Verdot grapes. A good reason, I suppose, but it tastes like a Petit Sirah. Smoother, perhaps, but still as full bodied as a Petite Sirah.
