Animale’s newest Petite Sirah includes 15% Cabernet Franc in the blend, a welcome addition that adds some dried herbs to the mix of bright berries and earthy tannins. It’s dark, powerful red wine, from a cool site in a warm vintage.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 89

Very little Petite Sirah is grown in Washington. This is a fascinating expression of the grape, dark and tannic, deeply flavored but not at all sweet or sappy. Underbrush, wild berries, moist earth and pencil lead flavors cascade through the mouth, with green-tinged tannins rolling through the finish. Complex and unique. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 88

The 2007 Petite Sirah Reserve is inky black in color. The bouquet is a brooding amalgam of assorted black fruits and blueberry liqueur. Dense, rich, and impeccably balanced, Petite Sirah does not get much better than this. Drink this beast from 2015 to 2032. Animale Winery opened its doors in 2001 and now produces 200 cases of what appears to be no-holds-barred wine.Tel. (206) 782-8047; www.animalewine.com
