For a fairly large production, turn-key Petite Sirah this one is very worthwhile, with a fully fruity nose of dark plum and blackberry that gets broody with notes of clove and cinnamon. The wine’s got good balance for a PS, is even-keeled and yet has plenty of meat on its bones. A great go-to Petite Sirah. ——V.B.(12/1/2011)—— 89
