Golden color with great clarity. Hints of pungent botrytis mix with spicy vanilla and stone fruit. A luscious palate is fairly thick with texture and the funkiness is complimented by flavors of sweet nectarine, apricot and pie crust . Touches of brulee, caramel and orange peel hit the finish. Lacks a touch of acidity, but thoroughly enjoyable for a 15+ year Basac from half bottle. A Sauternes value! — 8 years ago

For my 888th review, I chose this wonderful Napa Valley Petite Sirah.

Dark deep purple /almost black, with a purplish rim.

An explosion of ripe black fruits on the nose with blackberries, prunes, dried figs, raisins, plums, raspberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, leather, dirt and black pepper.

Full bodied and bold, with medium plus acidity and long purple legs.

Bone dry and fruity on the palate, with blackberries, figs, raisins, chocolates, prunes, cherry pie, black currants, earth, leather, spices and peppercorn.

Long finish with huge, green tannins and bitter spices.

This Napa Petite Syrah is still young and needs 3 more years in the bottle, but it is very enjoyable now, if you can tolerate the big tannings, or if you have it with BBQ Meats.

I enjoyed it by itself, by the pool. Not fully balanced, yet it has enough acidity and tannings to last it for a long while. This 2012 vintage is very ripe and very enjoyable.

14.1% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago

Classic aged Sauternes color with mature flavored notes of dried pit fruit and warm pie crust. Excellent with berries and vanilla ice cream. Simple is best with this wine. Still has many years of life and joy to provide. — 10 years ago

Deep Purple! Lovely full bodied red wine and a great value. The blackberry and blue berry notes pair with the vanilla and hints of cocoa. Think pie with cookie dough ice cream. The taste is smooth, spicy. — 7 years ago

Light garnet color bordering on delicate with fine sediment. Musty almond paste on closed nose. Tart apricot, cherry pie. Clover, allspice finish. Lingering menthol appears with time. So many more notes rise and fall with food. Soft, luscious, curious and lovely. — 9 years ago

For 23 years old, this wine is holding up just fine. Red fruit (cherry, currant, & candied Golden Delicious apple) still sharp on the nose, followed by Armani three-piece suit structure on the palate adorned with damp birch bark and stitched on the finish with apple pie crust. — 12 years ago

We had to wait a bit to burn off some ethyl acetate(nail polish remover) but it did in fact leave which was a relief.
Nose: stewed almost carmelized pear with vanilla and cinnamon and a touch of gingerbready ginger.
Pallatte: thick, sweet, intense. A flood of rich caramel pear and apple pie with... Wait is that cocoa on the finish? Enchanting! — 7 years ago

Not sure whether this is the wines reaction with glassware or not but there is a tinned peach / apricot note that shows through that isn't present out of the bottle. But it happens with most glasses, very unusual. Ripe blueberry and rhubarb pie notes. Raspberry jam and coffee grinds. — 9 years ago

The color is very opaque. The leg drip is 9 seconds at 3/4 glass start to 1/4 glass. The boquet is blackberry pie. There is no tanic / alcohol aroma at all. The initial palate is that of blackberry, currant, cigars, and pepper. The finish is butter. No aftertaste. It is dry, but not over done! Perfection in a wine. Finally!!!!!!!!!!! worth every penny!
