The 2016 Petite Sirah Tierra Theopolis Vineyard is another straight up fabulous barrel sample from Paul Gordon. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by gorgeous notes of black raspberries, lavender, flowers, and honeysuckle. Perfumed, elegant and already surprisingly forward, it still packs tons of fruit and richness on the palate, with vibrant acidity and a great finish. (7/2017)

This wine is raucous and rawboned, exuding a powerful black-pepper aroma and a mouthcoating palate of beef, pepper, singed rosemary and blackberry. Owing some of its wild character to the use of 50% whole-cluster fermentation, the wine is medium to full in body, quite tannic and bone dry. It’s not for the faint of heart, but the adventurous will love it. *Editors’ Choice* (JG) 12/2018)
