1998 Ridge “York Creek” Petite Sirah - 13.3%
Deep mature red with onion skin at edge.
Nice floral nose of roses with a touch o’ tar and smoke in the background.
Clean, firm, spicy, dark fruit entry leads to a tannic, lip smackin’, sour cherry finish.
Very tasty now but can hold for 2-4 more years.
But I would drink up since the current fruit level is threatened by the tannins present.
This may tend to dry up with further aging…
