9.2

About me: I prefer light or medium bodied, semi-sweet, soft/smooth, fruity nose, weak or medium flavor, clean finish. Don't care for very sweet, acidic, dry, crisp, oaky, bitter, peppery, tannic, strong, heavy. Usually don't eat when I drink wine. Rating only reflects my preference.

Review: Opens creamy, quite sweet with pronounced cherry flavor. Followed by some oak (though it's prepared in steel drums) and very mild bitterness. Finish slightly mineral with mild cherry. Reminds me of port. Bought a case. — 10 years ago

Found this in a farm shop not far from Lodi: I love stumbling upon unexpected bottles like this. 100% Petite Sirah, upfront fruits, with substantial oak and tannins. High quality, ageworthy, and California at its least commercial and predictable best. — 11 years ago

Aromas of white roses, orange peel, and creme brûlée. A soft, creamy texture is accented by flavors of honey, sweet cream, and a hint of lemon zest.

Loving this. Blows away my perception of what a spatlese should be. Intoxicating nose. Dense and rich. Length and texture. More please. — 12 years ago

It's got a bit of a smooth chalky-ness with subtle berries and a brief burn down the throat. I'd imagine it's something Lawrence from Princess and the Frog would drink if Naveen let him. Maybe with some of those minced mushrooms? — 11 years ago

This is for the cabernet merlot blend, which I had at Herzog Winery's restaurant. It was an absolutely fantastic bottle that went very well with our steak. Full-flavored for sure. I hope to find this bottle again. — 11 years ago
