Tasting notes
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.

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.
