A huge wine, power-packed in richness. Cherries, chocolate, raspberries, currants, licorice, even suggestions of spicy pecan pie flood the palate deliciously. Then the tannins kick in, and fierce they are. Acidity is fine, and the finish is bone dry. Drink this superior Petite Sirah now, and it should age for many, many years.——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 92
