Dark purple color. A deep core of roasted figs, plum sauce, along with charcoal, graphite, tilled soil, coffee grounds, violets – needs air to coax out the depths. The palate shows a solid core of roasted figs and currant paste, grippy tannins, moderate acidity, impressive balance and complexity. Cool mix of spicy and refreshing elements, and I get a lot of mesquite, tar, graphite, roasted red peppers and gravelly earth. A long-ager for sure. Don’t be scared of PV – this is delicious stuff! All Petit Verdot aged in 100% French oak.

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon / Isaac Baker
Medium purple color. Deep but tart aromas of blueberry and black cherries, with complex, deep and spicy tones: tar, mocha, sage, sweet red pepper, black pepper and balsamic glaze. The palate is full but smooth and, like the others, this wine’s acidity is really nice. Tangy plums and juicy black currant fruit blends well with leather, paprika, black pepper, spicy tobacco, mint. A lot going on, and I’d like to see this in five or six years. Cab Sauv with 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 100% French oak.

2014 Latigo / 94 Pts / Wine Review Online
Viscous, fruity, hedonistic and just immensely enjoyable, this red late harvest wine is exactly what you want in a sweet dessert, namely, pleasure. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
2015 Petite Sirah / Nittany Epicurean
The wine showed a dark ruby color. Black cherry, raspberry preserves, vanilla, licorice and oak could each be found on the nose. Cherry cola, raspberry preserves, vanilla, licorice, oak and hints of mocha followed on the palate where the robust cola notes set the tone for complexity. The wine was full-bodied and exhibited great length along with soft tannins. This wine would be an ideal pair for a roast beef tenderloin with horseradish cream.
2019 Petite Sirah / Isaac Baker
Deep purple color. The nose shows a nice mix of tangy plums and blueberries, with spicy pepper, anise, some coffee, toffee and mocha. Nice grip on the palate but the tannins have these suave edges and the acidity is really nice, balancing out the deep plum and currant fruit. Notes of black olive, tar, mocha, black pepper and bell pepper add complexity, and I love the deep, earthy, mineral and stony vibes in here. There’s a ton of freshness in here for a Petite Sirah. This puppy will age wonderfully. All PS aged in all French oak.
