Red and black fruits on the nose with chocolates, light oak and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, cherries, chocolates, light oak, spices, coffee and licorice.
Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Single Vineyard Petite Sirah from Dry Creek Valley in California. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward and rich, with mild complexity.
Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years and see how it evolves.
Easy drinking, and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 82% Petite Sirah and 18% Zinfandel. Aged for 17 months in (24% new) French and American Oak barrels.
14.2% alcohol by volume.

I have always been a fan of how well that vineyard handles these grapes.
