Maintaining an opaque deep purple-black color, the 2007 Petite Sirah Royal Punishers is just starting to budge aromatically, offering baked plums, black cherry pie and chocolate box scents with wafts of black soil, cracked pepper and bay leaves. Full-bodied, rich and bold in the mouth, the palate is still extremely youthful, with a firm structure of chewy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy.
