2015 Petite Sirah

Peterson Family Vineyard | Calistoga

Opaque and inky in appearance; black fruit jelly and a hint of briar in the aroma. On the palate discover a flood of mouth-filling berry flavors and ample chewy tannin, followed by a finish that seems to go on for 30 minutes. You probably should chew this one! –  Bob Foley, Winemaker

The nose is a full, polished wild blackberry with perfume of cassis and white blossoms with notes of blue plum and date. The palate is polished carbonized blackberry, soaked black cherry with underlying blueberry and plum. Drink 2019-2032. –  Purely Domestic Wine Report | Volume 7.1, December 2018 – 93 points
