Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, strawberries, and tabacco; on the palate, it's dry with low acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blueberries, blackberry jam, and crushed gravel with a medium finish. This wine is simple but balanced and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 8 months ago

This wine is made only when the grapes are right, in select vintages. 2013 was such a year. This dark wine smells delicious, with dark fruit challenged by oak spice, cedar and vanilla being the most prominent. The nose is complex, with notes of licorice, cinnamon and blackberry coming forth. Tobacco and chocolate abet those flavors on the palate. It’s 93% Petite Sirah and 7% Zinfandel, with mostly neutral oak use in the aging. Alcohol hits 14.5% abv and only 250 cases were made. — 10 years ago

Amazing brambly nose with spice and red fruit. Palate is bright and lively, cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, chocolate and a long finish. Paired quite successfully with a pan-seared ribeye infused with blue cheese. — 10 years ago

It’s an elegant Zinfandel, with rich cherry notes and a suitable amount of earth, both in the aromas and the flavors. The structure is well-defined and the tannins don’t bite very hard at all. There’s plenty of acidity and the finish is quite long and satisfying. — 10 years ago
