Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2007

Saturated ruby to the rim. Deep, vinous aromas of cassis, black cherry, menthol and licorice. A primary, intense fruit bomb, with fresh flavors of black cherry and cassis. Finishes with huge but ripe tannins and lovely lingering sweetness.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2006-2026, Robert Parker, Dec 2006

Nearly off the charts in terms of richness, the 2004 Petite Sirah Peterson Family Vineyard possesses an extraordinary perfume of violets, pepper, blueberries, blackberries, creme de cassis, and graphite. Terrific intensity, huge body, and sweet tannin are found in this profoundly great Petite Sirah. It should age effortlessly for two decades or more. Previously recommended: 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard (94), 2003 Merlot Peterson Family Vineyard (91), 2003 Petite Sirah Peterson Family Vineyard (92). Tel. (707) 738-6187
