The Other is always a favorite. Great depth and solid fruit. Aging nicely, with years left.

Wonderful. Everything fully resolved and ready to drink. Actually maybe a little beyond prime as I expected a little more fruit. Typical inky dark for this varietal. Paired with smoked blue cheese drizzled with truffle honey and it was sublime.

A well balanced Petite Sirah and a silky texture that TRB does so well. Dark fruit, well integrated wood and underbrush dance wonderfully together in this medium weight Petite Sirah. Elegant, yes but each component is nicely on display here. Good juice.

Dark fruit, garrigue and spice dance nicely together as if performing to a waltz. Softer than most petites, but not lacking structure and complexity. Nice juice!

Magnum. Decanted for 2 hours. Very good. Preferred by the most of my guests over the True Vineyard Cab. Still too young.

Improved with age. Decanted about 90 minutes. Drank in Lanai. Opaque purple. Pleasant nose. Full bodied black and blue fruit. Complex and integrated. Very good finish.

Pnp - dark purple inky color. Nose is big and full of dark black fruits. Drinks quite heavy initially so we each only had one glass. I am hoping it will soften a bit after a couple days. Don't have much experience with Petite Syrah - so not sure if this is how it supposed to taste. I did taste this at Outpost back in summer of 2011 - but don't really recall. Okay revisited two days later and no …

Loved this wine. Pop and pour with a nice mid-rare filet mignon and it was a good companion. Cassis, berries and a hint of spice. Pretty tight - could probably have used a good decant, but I loved it as is.
