Age has been kind to this Petite, one of Concannon’s smalller bottlings. The wine is noticeably easygoing with mellowed plum and blackberry fruit and tamed tannins.——V.B.(4/1/2012)—— 87

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

The flagship Petite Sirah from the winery’s own vineyards in the Livermore Valley is the biggest and richest wine in the lineup. The nose is filled with intense blueberries, but also picks up hints of licorice, flowers and grilled meat, while the flavors feature lush fruit and spice. Full-bodied and richly tannic, this should evolve well for years to come.——J.C.(6/1/2007)—— 90

From the winery that claims to have introduced Petite Sirah as a varietal wine comes this dynamic bottling. It’s full-bodied, dry and tannic, with a deep undertow of blackberry, cherry, plum and coffee flavors, and has a complex structure. Will be beautiful with a grilled steak, but this is a wine you can stash away for at least a decade. ——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 92

So deficient in lively acidity that it just collapses on the palate, making it hard to appreciate the pretty flavors of dry, tart cherries and espresso. Just disappears on the finish.——S.H.(2/1/2005)—— 84
