I’ll start by saying Petite sirah is one of my favorite varietals. This is a really nice example of how deep and brooding that grape can be. Full of dark cherry and blackberry fruit balanced with some peppe, this is drinking well now, but has lots of time left.

Big, bold, clearly new world style, quite some heat due to 16% alc., so best enjoyed with food. I liked it, but for 69 € there is a lot competition from Rhone and Australia.
Could improve for prob. 3 years. Not sure this will imrpove after that.

Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: Initially some cranberries + blueberries, but with some time transforms into a lovely dark pitch of juicy black cherries, some earth and a touch of artificial note (neon-berries).
P: Dark and intense red and black cherries, a fruitful earthiness and finished with dried oak. There’s also a touch of graphite along with some dry cedar. Finishes a bit hot (the one thing I can remember about Orin Swift *pow pow*).
Not bad at all. The nose led me to think this was going to be something light but this shows much darker, and even serious, on the palate.

Deep purple colour Dry, low acidity, high alcohol, intensive aromas of dark cherry and plum, vanilla, chocolate, cedar and dried fruits on the nose and palate. Has definitely some rest sugar. Delicious! Goes very well with barbecue, stew and red meat.
