very dry and tannic, as petite sirah should be. but unlike many “pets,” it's also balanced and elegant. the official alcohol is only 13.5%, yet there's not a trace of greenness. in fact, the wine, which has plenty of french oak, is quite rich in blackberry and black currant flavors. really a superb example, a petite sirah for cabernet fans. should evolve interestingly for many years.
