Blackberry, cassis, raspberry, smoke, vanilla, mossy earth and oak. Great structure and soft tannins.

The 2014 Petite Sirah is flat-out beautiful. Aromatic, poised and focused in the glass, it possesses striking varietal character and wonderful aromatic overtones from the co-fermented Malvasia Bianca. The Petite tannins are very nicely tamed, most likely because of the Roussanne in the blend. The 2014 is a total knockout. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2017)

Recovery drink after redoing 19.1. God I cant feel my quads - it was worth it though (15 more reps!)

A fantastic, bold wine. It starts with a blend of dark fruit and earth. Gradually, these notes fade and a metallic finish emerges. It's a tad on the acidic side, but a great find!
