2004 Petite Syrah
Napa Valley

The rich aromatics of this wine include ripe black fruit, black currants, cocoa and hints of vanilla. On the palate, blackberry, black plums integrate with back notes of maple syru ...morep, creme brulee, and hints of earth, to introduce a very full and voluptuous mouthfeel. With classic Petite Syrah tannin structure, this wine finishes with a long, chewy bitter-chocolate finish.

2005 Petite Sirah
North Coast

This old world style Petite Sirah is dark and rich with wonderful brambly blackberry and spice aromas, luscious berry flavors, and rich tannins. To enhance complexity, we aged this ...more wine in the best French oak, adding sweet toasty oak and vanilla nuances to the blend. The grapes for our 2005 Petite Sirah are primarily from the rocky soils of the Diamond Ridge Vineyard.

We suggest serving B.R. Cohn Petite Sirah with your favorite grilled meat or strong cheeses.

2008 Black Orchid - Petite Sirah
Briarwood Estate Vineyard

Hailing from the western edge of Briarwood, our Petite Sirah grows in a block of mixed soils that comprise both calcareous limestone and rocky alluvium. You can practically draw a ...moreline through the block where the soils are clearly defined on either side. Black Orchid is 100% estate-grown Petite Sirah and is exactly as its name implies, black. This wine is meant to display not only the powerful profile of the variety, but also the depth and complexity that it derives from our terroir. Hand picked in September, the fruit was de-stemmed, double sorted, then cold soaked for multiple days prior to fermentation. An additional 6 months of barrel aging helped to soften the tannins and improve oak integration. The end result is a deftly balanced wine with an inky profile and layers of fruit.

Jumping out of the glass with aromas of dark, ripe fruit and notes of tobacco leaf and cedar, this wine means business. The palate is layered with dark fruits and spice, reminiscent of olallieberry syrup and cloves. This wine is big, bold, and rich with inky phenolics and subtle undertones of soy. Black Orchid is the most muscular offering of our 2008 wines.

2005 Petite Sirah
Napa Valley

Following are Robert Parkerâ€™s tasting notes of the 05 barrell sample:

â€From the northeastern corner of the Napa Valley, this (Carver Sutro) Petite Sirah spec ...moreialist turns out pedal to the metal, powerful, intense wines from this underrated varietal. â€œRevealing an opaque purple hue as well as a full-bodied, dense personality, the 2005 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard offers up scents of blueberries, black raspberries, camphor, graphite, and spring flowers. It reveals huge tannins, good acidity and 25 years of aging potential.â€

2004 Portentous
Mendocino

"Port-Style" Dessert Wine. This late bottled vintage â€œportâ€ was a dream to make. The grapes were crushed and chilled down to 45Â°F and allowed to sit on the skins for six day ...mores, extracting flavors and color. We then added yeast and slowly allowed the fermentation to begin with close monitoring, in order to press off the skins and add our brandy at optimal sugar to stop the fermentation. The blend was then transferred to older barrels and allowed to age for 2 1/2 years before bottling.

The grapes are grown on extraordinary mountain vineyards in Mendocino County. The Petite Sirah comes from the Talmage Bench area just west of Ukiah on the eastern side of the valley. It is grown at an elevation of approximately 1,400 feet.. The grapes get very ripe, and give spicy berry fruit with dark, black inky color.

The Zinfandel comes from the Mendocino Ridge Appellation and is grown at an extreme elevation of 2,900 feet. These are very renowned grapes and grow right on the edge of what is deemed common for viticulture, resulting in very concentrated cranberry-raspberry flavors and aromas.

2003 Petite Sirah
Dry Creek Valley

This wine reflects its hillside origins, showing a very deep red intense color. Its bouquet is more subtle, with hints of white pepper and violets and a background of black currant ...more jam. On the palate, the wine is bright with lots of liquorice, cranberry and blackberry. Soft, yet firm tannins will allow for midâ€”term aging but the wine is beautiful now!â€” CÃ©cile Lemerleâ€”Derbes, Winemaker
