This wonderful Petite Sirah from California is drinking nicely now, but will be better in a year or two.

A great sipping wine. It is still showing some vegetable notes, that will go away with time, and some alcohol.
Needs an hour to open up, but good right out of the bottle. Rich, extracted and a little Jammy. This is just yummy.

Beautiful violet color. Sweet and inviting aroma of dark berries and brown sugar. Medium body, leathery tannins, lots of plum and raisins. Can be drank right away even though is 2015. Good depth for how young this wine is. About $23. Great value!!!! Will definitely buy again.
