For a fairly large production, turn-key Petite Sirah this one is very worthwhile, with a fully fruity nose of dark plum and blackberry that gets broody with notes of clove and cinnamon. The wine’s got good balance for a PS, is even-keeled and yet has plenty of meat on its bones. A great go-to Petite Sirah. ——V.B.(12/1/2011)—— 89

This is an easy-drinking Petite Sirah from an always solid producer of the variety. The wine is a little less in your face than many of its competitors with noticeable acidity and flavors of dark plum, mocha and spicy blackberry, though its finish could have been a little bit longer. ——V.B.(10/1/2011)—— 87
