1997 vintage. Medium Amber hue. Medium intensity of apples, Perry pears, honey, vanilla. Apple sauce, wood resin, cinnamon, toffee apple. With water added, more wood and vanilla notes to the fore. Very aged. On the palate, off dry, smooth integrated alcohol. Full bodied, pronounced flavour intensity of apples, pears, honey and toffee apple. Long finish, highly complex spirit. — 10 years ago

For a wine with such a highly concentrated hue, it has a rather faint set of aromas. Blackberry comes forward, timidly. Nice to get a whiff of smoke at the top of the glass. The black fruit is large on the palate and a strong sense of earth, minerals, is present. It's a savory quaff, with oak spice on that minerality. It’s a good wine, very good, but at twice the price of an excellent Rioja it can hardly be considered a deal. — 9 years ago
2013. Lovely! This does NOT seem like a 14% alc Chardonnay. Flinty, balanced, with some apricot. Stunning with grilled salmon, and artichokes. — 9 years ago

I don't usually pair my wine with music, but this wine calls for two songs, Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and Purple Rain by Prince. I really wanted to mention Purple Rain, because that's one of my all time favorite songs, soundtracks, and movies. This Petite Sirah from Coquerel Wines in Calistoga, Califorina is so purple, it's almost black. The fruit flavors are equally dark: blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, and plum. Add pepper, spice, and ample acidity and you have a total package Petite Sirah. You won't mind that your teeth are stained when you are finished sipping. This was a sample I didn't request, but do not regret receiving. If you love Petite Sirah, you will love this one. $39 direct from the winery. — 9 years ago
