Today, in updating my cellar (with my consumed wines - way behind), I reviewed the tasting sheet we did for this wine and compared it with my previous note for this bottle. ALL of the previous flavors and aromas still stand, the only mistake I made was not waiting longer. This little grape, vintage and vineyard still has more life in the bottle (OK, I admit it - I should have waited another 2 years). So the drink window stands, although I am coming in to 2030.

A bolder more pronounce little grape makes some very nice wine. The dark berry fruit along with the spice and slight pepper give this wine the "punch" you are looking for. Ridge, which I adore their zinfandels, make this nice little sirah. It fits well in their portfolio of wines to enjoy with spicy (think bar-b-q) and gamey (think cornish game hens) foods. This wine will lay down for years and this one is no exception, so I must wait, and wait, and wait, for my next bottle.

It is singing beautifully right now. Notes of red and black berries, a hint of vanilla, spicy and restrained. Well integrated tannins and great balance.

Still drinking on the young side, tannins still there. Tastes of purples and lavender. Decant this, drinking window open now.

Drank in remembrance of Patti Carrington. A nice Petite Sirah, not overly extracted. Med to full body with nice fruit and earthiness.
