An aged (sorta) Petite.! Dark like black cherry and plum skins. Smells like barns, garages and sheds mixed with jammed black and red fruits. Maybe just a tiny hint of turpentine or eucalyptus oil. Flavors are big and tannic as one would expect from CA Petite Sirah. Hint of mountain berries. Some ‘mountain misery’ maybe too. Hearty, deep and full. Seems unfazed by the 6 years aging lol. This is a big boy wine for those who like to feel wines on their front teeth and have a coated tongue. But it’s flavorful and complex too. Pretty classic CA P.S. Well done.
