This is an inky dark, broodingly tannic, bone-dry wine. Also an expensive one. Is it worth it? If you're a Petite Sirah fan, it's one of the most exciting of the genre you can buy. The flavors are a complex melange of blackberries, cherries, plums, mocha and dusty spices. This is in serious need of cellaring. Best after 2008, and for a decade afterward.
