Description:
This wine has always been about potential. It has opened and closed twenty times since it finished fermenting. We've yet to have two identical tastes of this wine.
The nose has the usual complement of Howell Mountain spice, intense wet stones/slate, anise and blackberries. Tannins take center stage on the palate with some bright cherry, raspberry and coffee notes. The wine has not finished filling out but with time in bottle, it has been slowly adding nuance. The end is huge, framed by hillside tannin and some nice acidity. Patience will be rewarded. The 2001 Petite Sirah will drink best in 3-5 years, maturing much more slowly than the 2002's.
