I've tasted this #wine numerous times over the years. Upon release, the tannins and acid are prominent with ample fruit the rest of the way. You'll typically find P Sirah a year or two behind other varietal vintages to help mellow out the tannins. This vintage, not necessary.

Dark wild berry aromas with faint blue flowers. The color is dark and slightly inky. The palate has supple diminishing fruit. Tannins are moderate minus and quick. The friendliest vintage I've tasted from them. Opened 11/16/15

Inky and jammy. Blueberry, blackberry, and black cherry nose with leather and black peppercorns. Med+ tannins. Very enjoyable.

Nice full-bodied Petite Sirah. Pleasant but not long after taste.

good medium/full body. A bit sweet but not as sweet as some Californian reds.
