Valdez Family Winery
Landy Vineyard Petite Sirah
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
14.7% alc.
Dark as midnight in the glass and still a teeth-stainer at age 6.
A bit tannic (from oak?) it might not go the 50+ years mile that I see other CA Petit's do but it should still provide awesome drinking for the next foreseeable future.

Sumo-esque! Such an integrated wine after a decade plus of cellaring. Well worth it for the rewards!

Exceptional body and balance. Big but drinkable. Punchy but smooth. Thoughtful. Similar to the St. Francis in style but much older fruit that provides a richer experience.
