Last bottle, getting up there, but doesn't really taste liked it's aged much? Figured it might be getting past its prime but not really, despite being relatively light in tannins. Go figure! Dense dark fruit, mild nose, lush mouth feel. Punches well above its price point ($25).

Lovely—probably near the end of drinking window but delicious. This is a crowd pleaser. Not much in the way of tannin. Fruit was powerful without being overpowering. Also versatile. This was fine on its own before dinner and really had opened up with dinner. I would recommend drinking now.

Still drinking really nicely. Not much of a nose to speak of, but this wine is all about the lush texture and mouth feel. It has all the elements of an excellent petite sirah but without the sickly sweetness that often turns me off to the varietal. I am not sure this one is going to improve with more cellaring but I'm inclined to let my remaining bottles sit for a bit just to see what happens.

Big & juicy. It's like liquid meat. Mmmmm.
