Purple-Black...teeth staining. Very approachable for a young PS. Still a mouthful. Pepper, plum and fog abound. Ageable to be sure and very good now.

Has great earthiness to go with the monumental fruit. On opening it seems more old world than new. Really really good.

Full throttle flavours and loads of intensity, spice, tannins and well integrated acidity, this is seriously built to age. Still primal but plenty of reward will come to those who wait.

Dispels my bias against this variety. Proof what can be achieved with a deft hand and pristine fruit.

Nice structure but still needs time, surprisingly tannic for a Petite Sirah.

Well worth the wait as suggested by the vintners. Light smoke and earthy elements with a touch of limestone. Good medium body mouthfeel and well softened tannins carrying fully ripened plums combined with dark currants. Somewhere between lavender and eucalyptus in the finish add a little fun to the finish. Glad I have two more bottles to check again in a year to see how this vintage continues to finish out.
