Robust dark wine with some polish on it. Nostalgia by drinking this with old friends who drank this from the barrel with me originally !!!

I remember tasting this out of the barrel - a blueberry bomb. Now a nice petit sirah but not memorable. Sad that it hasn't aged so well.

Digging this. Delicious blueberry pie on the nose, lots of acid. Tannins have calmed down some, but they're still biting. Really great with food--paired with BBQ. Definitely decant.

Dark fruit, young. It can use a few years but is drinkable if you decant.

Nice Petite! BBQ ribs were the perfect accompaniment. Opened up into a luscious wine.
