York Creek Spring Mountain Petite Sirah

2021 Independence Day Party 🇺🇲 🥳 with several members of our Tastevin crew and extended friends.🍷 Proof that our palates are wider than Burgundy, outside of sanctioned events.🍾 Notes may be light, scores will be honest. 💯

Lovely bottle development.

A real treat. Great depth, good balance of fruit, earth, tannin, and acid. Can age much longer if you are inclined.

Still a grippy lil mother. Must have been a bear young. I'm a huge fan, lovely lanolin cigar box, fruit-leather with heaps of tarragon on the pallet. Great acid. Love it!

My first Petite Sirah ever. Strawberry, plums and a hint of lovage on the nose mixed with a slightly oxidative component. Medium body, good acidity, more on the cool side (Vintage?). Well done Ridge.

I think the wine of the night. Huge aromas of fruit cake and vanilla. Seamless rich and deep flavors. Loved it

Lots of fruit still in reserve. Tannins resolved. Acid a bit high in a good, vibrant way.

Rich ripe supple and seemingly but appropriately quite American oaky. Excellent mature PS.

1978.

Holy cow
