Very very good petite sirah enjoyed earlier tonight as part of a T-Vines petite sirah vertical tasting with our dinner club dinner at good friend David Duralia's house with dinner of grilled tenderloin tips. My WOTN - better then the '03 with richer and bolder structure, very well balanced and beginning to approach maturity but with tannic structure for at least a decade more of cellaring. Primary nose of dark stone fruit and blackberries with flavors of dark stone fruit, blackberry, loamy earth with development of some tobacco and leather on aftertaste. Highly recommend this and at this price point a good QPR.

Agreed with previous reviews. Very dark in color, deep flavors and a lot of life left in this 2004. Excellent bottle!

Just stellar stuff. Deep, dark black fruits, complex nose, dusty tannins, great acidity, perfectly balanced at 14.1% abv. Highly, highly recommended.
