Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021
James Suckling, 94 Points: Lots of blackberry, stone and ink aromas that follow through with blackberry, blueberry, and boysenberry notes. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of flavor but not overdone. Shows balance and beauty. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points: This mouthwatering and structural Petite Sirah is built to accompany juicy cuts of steak, mushroom risotto or richer pastas. The flavors are bright, mouthwatering and also richly spiced with cinnamon, clove and candied ginger. Notes of fig and chopped dates emerge with further sipping.
Food Pairings
Serve with juicy steak, mushroom risotto or richer pasta dishes, as suggested in the Wine Enthusiast review.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage
James Suckling 94 Points | A very fine-tannined red with blackberry, chocolate, dried chili, ink pot, and oyster shell aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very structured, with a flavorful and lightly austere finish. Top petite sirah. Drink or hold. (v.2020).
Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | Oak char and black pepper aromas lead to drenching blackberry and blueberry flavors in this rich and intensely tannic wine. The color is black to a reddish rim, the texture is thick and a bit drying, and the body is full. This wine needs time and/or a good decanting to loosen up. Best from 2027.(v:2020).
The Wine Advocate 90 Points | Aged entirely in American oak (19% new), the 2020 Petite Sirah pairs an interesting mix of garrigue-like notions with mocha and cigar box, plus notes of blueberries, licorice and dark chocolate. It's full-bodied and a bit chewy on the palate but ripe, juicy and long.
