IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Rich does not begin to describe this wine. I have always liked my Petites full throttle, not pretty and delicate. This is rich, intense and black as it can be. There are loads of black fruits, tar and unsmoked tobacco. This should drink well on release as long as it is given air or time in a decanter, but should go 15+ without breaking a sweat.

The 2015 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard is something else. It has amazingly soft tannins, huge, massive body, loads of blue and black fruits a hint of licorice and incense. It is a killer Petite Sirah that will probably be drinkable in 3-4 years and last 20-25.
