Wonderful wine. Comparable to Von Strasser Cab. Give it time to open up and get rid of the sharp, peppery edges & it will be smooth & round, with a dry finish. — 8 years ago
Big and balanced blend. Fine tannins with nice minerality add to the currant and berry notes. — 4 years ago
Unparallel intensity, concentration, & character. What a superb wine! Definitely aged to perfection! — 7 years ago
Deep, deep purple in the glass. The blackberries on the nose threaten to overwhelm the oak, lavender, and vanilla aromas but never does. From the good folks at Von Strasser, this is a rather plucky Petite Sirah that I definitely underestimated. Big, dense stuff with high acidity. Despite the utter bigness of this PS, it has an undeniably smooth mouthfeel. The more you drink this, the more fun it is. Rustic yet refined, this baby has a lot going for it. Wonderful fruit on the palate with blueberry cobbler and cherry pie upfront and toasted oak and spices on the backend. Really nice expression of Petite Sirah. — 5 years ago

Very nice. Looking for something similar to Von Strasser Cab & this is it! — 7 years ago
An almost perfect representation of Howell Mountain Cab. Props to the von Strasser clan for delivering this beauty in 2011. Tannic, berries, a bit of smoke and slight acidity. — 8 years ago
