Rich and Ruby in color. Smooth on the palette and low in tannins. No lingering finish. A good Zin indeed.

I enjoy Petite Sirah for the complexity - when done well (e.g. Elyse, Stags Leap) it offers stunning aromatics & big time mouthfeel w/fairly sturdy burly tannins. This was like AAA ball - well done but not the Major Leagues. Aromas weren’t so clear & delineated and palate was muddled. Air helped but still ultimately provincial.

Spicy, with maybe a little cherry and blackberry? Also maybe chocolate.

Petite Sirah which is a deliciously versatile grape, add some California coastal richly mineralized soil and infused with fragrant ocean air locked within this red grape. All this giving a blackberry character and round tannins, spiced notes with a hint of vanilla. Rather have a white wine. San Simeon Chardonnay will match u with the best in that varietal.
