The 2008 Petite Sirah Yorkville Highlands (100% Petite Sirah picked in late October from yields of 1.6 tons of fruit per acre) is totally locked down at present. It reveals a massive mouthfeel as well as loads of blackberry and blueberry fruit, hints of graphite and flowers, and plenty of the tell-tale pepper and spice characteristics for which this varietal is known. It needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should merit a slightly higher score in a decade. It will last for 20-25 years.

Those masochists who need a high dosage of resveratrol will adore the 2008 Petite Sirah Yorkville Highlands, which should clear out any clutter in the arteries. A huge, massive wine with abundant black and blue fruits intermixed with licorice, camphor, graphite and spicy background oak, this chewy, unfined/unfiltered Petite Sirah should be forgotten for 4-5 years, and drunk over the following 2+ decades.
