The Zephyr Ridge vineyard provides the fruit for this brambly Petite Sirah. It was aged for 22 months in American oak, and has that roughshod character, a mix of wild berry, garrigue and clean earth. ——P.G.(2/1/2012)—— 86

This is 100% Petite Sirah, jet black, tannic and layered with hints of forest floor, fungus, dried leaf and wild berry. From the Zephyr Ridge vineyard, it’s quite astringent, clearly varietal in character, and a fine example of what can be done with this grape in Washington State.——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 88

This is the fifth vintage for this rare Washington version of Petite Sirah. It is almost jet black in the center, purple at the rim, tight and tannic with plenty of acid sculpting the earthy, black cherry fruit. Loaded into the finish are layers of earth, iodine, tar and licorice; it’s very well made and retains just enough roughness to satisfy lovers of this often rustic grape.——P.G.(11/1/2008)—— 88

This is the fourth vintage for this rare Washington version of Petite Sirah, and the best yet. It doesn’t have the sheer weight and bulk of California wines, but its firm acids, sweet tannins and ripe black cherry fruit adds a stylish, almost elegant spin to the grape.——P.G.(8/1/2007)—— 89
