(100% petite sirah): Good bright ruby. Aromas of musky black cherry, blueberry, wild herb, clove and pepper, plus a high-toned whiff of dried berries Silky, ripe and satisfying, with plump, mouthfilling black fruit and spicy oak flavors framed by harmonious acidity. Essentially round, fruit-driven petite sirah with slowly building but soft tannins. This was tougher from barrel a year ago.
Saturated ruby-red. Blackberry, black cherry and violet on the nose; conveys a strong crushed berry character. Rich, supple and inviting, with blackberry and licorice flavors lifted by flowers and aromatic herbs that reminded me of garrigue. A bit youthfully tough on the chewy finish, but offers captivating lingering perfume.
