Turley, Petite Sirah, Hayne Vyd., Napa Valley 2003

Opaque purple.

Sweet oak/black fruit aromatics. A bit of grilled meat too. Reduction sauce character here, too.

Round and extremely plush - how can this be PS? Intense structure slowly shows itself, but does not shut down flavor flow..
Even a light citrus note adding lift. Loaded and definitely in need of time.

Day 4 - Deep, very attractive, hazelnut character on the nose. Meat and steak sauce in the background. Once again, I get a meaty/citrusy quality that reminds me of Spanish Tempranillo (Rioja) on steroids. Front teeth chew does nothing to kill flavor.
Very long, subtle, citrus-chew finish.

Very interesting, multi-dimensional PS.

Gift - $70?
