There’s some sweaty, funky stuff going on with this Petite Sirah, along with massive blackberry, currant and tobacco flavors. The tannins are big, furry and strong, and the finish is bone dry. Shows that slightly rustic “Pet” quality, but in an upscale Napa way. Now–2020.

This is the kind of Cabernet that’s soft and accessible enough to drink now. It’s rich in blackberry, cherry and spice flavors, with a sweet edge of charred wood. Saved from mere simplicity by a fine, firm tannic structure.

This is one of those “best kept secrets” that pop up from time to time. The grapes come from the warm Pope Valley region, and the wine, made from free run juice, was aged in 55% new French oak. It has the feel and taste of Cabernets far more expensive. Almost overripe, it veers back at the last minute into pure, sweet blackberry essence. A great bargain, but only 317 cases were produced.
