This wine is always a favorite in blind judgings. As Petite Sirah goes, this is not at all clunky or overwrought – it’s balanced and supple, with layered varietally correct aromas and flavors that entice immediately. I notice that each vintage seems to pull a similar score from me. Kudos for consistency! A Platinum Award winner at the 2022 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
