The 2000 Petite Sirah Reserve, a 158-case blend of 90% Petite Sirah and 10% Petit Verdot, primarily from two vineyard sources, Barcini and Kenefick Ranch, came across as tough, austere, and hard to penetrate. Its saturated purple color is accompanied by copious amounts of astringent tannin as well as hints of ripe black fruits, all submerged beneath a structured, firm personality.
