Tasting notes
The 2022 Petite Sirah Royal Punishers is all varietal that spent 15 months in 35% new French oak. Ripe black fruits, graphite, peppery herbs, and some meaty, chocolate nuances all soar from the glass, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It should have a decade of solid drinking.

Produced largely from Rutherford fruit, the 2022 Petite Sirah Royal Punishers matured in approximately one-third new French oak. Marked by scents of blackberries and vanilla, plus a few herbal nuances and hints of dark chocolate, it's full-bodied and framed by dusty tannins. Serve it alongside a nice slab of rare beef anytime over the next decade or so.
