I love it! Fruit bomb. Awesome. There's also another level of spice to this that really makes it for me.
::Update:: Went back and tasted again. Wasn't quite as blown away. Maybe it was the different glass or weather??? Still excellent for the price, and I do still really like this wine. Only knocked it down half a glass!

This area has a rich history of qualitygrape production dating back more than 120 years. The vineyards are planted with twoselections of Petite Sirah, both from 80 to 100 years old. The individual vineyards thatencompass this wine all have their own aromatic and flavor profiles. Blended together, Rosenblum has created an incredible example of what Contra Costa can achieve with this varietal. This wine exhibits great color with a bouquet and flavors of ripe blackberries, read more...

- Very good wine for the price. Lots of fruit in the nose and a touch of pepper.
