Very much a fruit-bomb, with blackberries and vanilla dominating on the nose and palate, but also hints of black currant. Very jammy/juicy but well constructed.

Deep purple-black color. On the nose, I get blueberry, sweet tobacco, baking spices and just a touch of fresh earth. The palate delivers nice blackberry and vanilla cream flavors (maybe a little black cherry, too) with a bit of spice. It’s smooth-textured, almost plush in the mouth with fine-grained tannins and decent acidity.
I’m not sure any magic came from the Petite + Petit combination (I didn’t sense much from the Petit Verdot), but this is an enjoyable bottle of wine, firmly in the “fruit & oak” camp.

This is the big brash mouthful of fruit we expect from Petit Sirah. The addition of 15% Petit Verdot brings enough layering and complexity to reach the 90 point glass ceiling. No question the fruit dominates; lots of heavy blueberry and blackberry, but there a several other flavors lingering in the background. There is a spicy cedar element, with a touch of lead pencil. The silky tannins are well integrated in the background, not particularly acidic, even the finish is fruity.
