As rich, perfumed and complex as Petite Sirah gets. This has the structure to last for decades, but I don't see it getting any better than this.

Nice layers. Rich but not over the top. Blueberry preserves, coarse black pepper, olive brine, salted meat.

This is home. Underbrush, smoke, iodine, dark blueberries. Consistent palate with a fresh mid palate that leads to a long structured finish. Some coffee ground, touch of chocolate truffle dust. Amazing...

Still tastes like a baby. Definitely not for old-world-only type folks (afwe), but great and perfect pairing for pork chili verde.

For those looking for a chicken mole pairing. Some tannic grip, luscious fruit, and spice/pepper.

Yum! Thick berry flavor with that cranberry tongue finish. You can lightly taste the woody oak barrel. You will enjoy this!
