2012 Viano Vineyards Petite Sirah Reserve Selection - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (7/27/2019)
See my previous note on the 2013. This wine is just starting to soften. Still needs another 5-15 years. Slow Ox’dfor 3 days uncorked. Last part of the bottle is best. Great QPR. I should have read my last note sooner and doubled decanted on Day1 and put in the Fridge for day or 2. Great QPR. Hard to beat for $16 especially considering its estate-grown old vine fruit and Family farmed and produced.

2013 Viano Vineyards Petite Sirah Reserve Selection - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (4/7/2019)
Inky dark purple opaque in the glass. Leads with black fruit, and strong tannins on the finish. Bracing acidity throughout. Better on day 3. It still needs time. This is a powerful wine. Not the most complex in the world but an absolute steal at $16. I think this wine represents the best of what Viano vineyards have to offer. recommended.
