The grape variety's floral aspects come out in the aromas of this big but well-balanced wine. Full of roses and violets, the perfume is unusual and inviting, and the flavors follow, piling on dry but ripe tones of blueberry and black olive, riding a richly tannic texture that seems to coat all corners of the palate.
92 WE 2016
Complex, compelling aromas of fig, mint and cocoa start this full-bodied wine off with a bang before rich, jammy blackberry and blueberry flavors flood the palate. The texture is quite tannic, but is balanced out by the richness and concentration of the fruit tones. It's a big, boisterous wine that needs some equally big proteins to pair with.
93 JS 2018
Blackberry, black-ink and black-cherry aromas follow through to a full body with polished, juicy tannins and wonderful depth of dark fruit and bark. Some black mushrooms, too. Serious effort here. 100% petite sirah. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
