This wine smells like toasted bread, salt and black pepper, and tastes like a grilled steak, with smoke and blackberry accents. The tannin meter goes high, as the varietal's notorious thick texture and controlled astringency show through. Best to hold this and drink after 2019.

Thick in sandpapery tannins, this Petite Sirah shows very ripe, sweet flavors of blackberry jam, currants, chocolate, raisins and pepper. It's rustic now, and likely to remain so over a long lifespan.
