This exquisite Petite Syrah is anything but Petite! Fully extracted, massively tannic, stained dark purple reminiscent of squid ink; culminates with a surprisingly smooth and refined finish.

Nose tells of the American oak aging with caramelized fruits, dark cherry and ripe plum. Color is typical PS with super inky gorgeousness. Very young on the palate with full, ripe, dark fruits incorporated with American oak. Full mouthfeel, nicely balanced tannins, hints of acid and spice. Very easy drinking and great for food. Needs age

The wood is too present and the tannins a bit obvious at this point but decent acidity gives me hope this will round into form. Does American oak want PS?

Beautiful fruit and spice on the nose. The wine still young and tight, just like I was once. Cheers!

Inky, dark and brooding. Perfect match with grilled Filet, mushrooms, onions, Brussel sprouts and sweet mini peppers. Tobacco and herbs on the nose, meaty, plum jam and pepper on the palette. Luscious. Decanted for 15 minutes before dinner was ready.

Deep, dark, rich color. 14.2% alcohol, the balance is very good. Tannins are noticeable but not overpowering. Rich concentrated dark fruit and cassis flavors. Weighty in the mouth. Drinking very well now but could age another 5 years if you prefer more aged wines.

I don't know where my head is at the moment. This vertiginous Petite Sirah was paired with a feast for the eyes sous vide rib-eye finished and charred on the open flame. Rarely, I have tasted so defined notes of fruit and tannins. It is a must to taste and it's length clearly helps it keep up with similar crafts from the old world.

Gangsta. Seemless. Best Petite Syrah I've ever had.
