We just received some nice reviews over at Cellar Tracker:
2010 Dunning Vineyards Petite Sirah Reserve
2/17/2013
- 93 points. 15.5% ABV. Completely purple in color. Aromas of black
fruits and white pepper. Blackberry cobbler, peppercorn, anise, mint
and a touch of vanilla on the palate. The wine is unctuous with amazing
viscosity. Supple but firm tannins. The sweet finish literally lasts
for over a minute. This wine is stellar right now but has the stuffing
to age effortlessly for at least a decade. TOMLEE.
2010 Dunning Vineyards Zinfandel Estate Bottled - Private Reserve Westside
2/15/2013
- 92 points. Deep magenta in color. Gorgeous red fruits on the nose.
Fresh raspberry, loganberry, pepper, cherry liqueur and cloves on the
palate. Rich, jammy and thickly textured. The finish is long and
supple. Impressive! TOMLEE.
