Love the old-vine character of bark, moss and peat to this. Full body, soft and juicy tannins and a savory aftertaste. Supple and delicious.

Score 94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2016
Inky blue and purplish fruit, lavender, sage, cloves and mocha run through the 2012 Petite Sirah Howell Mountain. Super-ripe, voluptuous and sensual, the 2012 will drink well with minimal cellaring, The voluptuous, ample style is a bit out of character for this wine. Then again, that's 2012. (AG)
