Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93+
Made from 100% Petite Sirah from Rodney's Vineyard and aged 20 months in French oak barrels, of which 26% were new, the 2022 Petite Sirah Rodney's Vineyard's vivid blue fruits, pepper, liquid violet, and sappy herb notes define this beauty. It's medium-bodied, has a concentrated yet focused, polished mouthfeel, good acidity, and supple tannins. It's miles away from your uber-ripe, over-the-top examples of this variety and will have 15 years or more of longevity. Drink 2025-2040.
