2005 Jeff Cohn Cellars Petite Sirah Frediani Vineyard

An offering that will last 20-25 years is the 2005 Petite Syrah Frediani Vineyard. Backward, with notes of blueberries, crushed rocks, violets, and spring flowers, this dense, tannic, super-extracted effort is still an infant in terms of development. Forget it for 5-6 years, and drink it over the following 2-3 decades.
