No doubt about it, this is an intense wine. The pour is inky black except when viewed under a strong lamp and held to a thin layer where it settles into a ravishing pool of brilliant clarity displaying dark reds with a deep purple rim. Trailing up from a rotating glass are fresh, massive, pure black fruit aromas with hints of blackberry and logan berry fragrances elegantly revealed in a way rarely seen in this variety. The flavors match the breath yet divulge even more with loganberry, cassis, licorice, fresh dough, and well-integrated oak notes resembling maple syrup. The texture is a multilayered coating of round supple thick black cherry. Left at the end of each sip are youthful, round, rich mature tannins balanced with wood. The wine allows for current consumption for those who can't wait yet graceful aging for those that prefer patience.

Wine Encyclopedia Review
It will be hard to find many Petite Sirah as rich and complex as the 2004 David Fulton Petite Sirah. Sourced from old vineyards in St. Helena, this superb bottling reveals a deep ruby purple opaque color and offers aromas of ripe blackberry fruit, saddle leather, earth, and toasty oak with a touch of spice. On the attack it reveals a velvety sweet mouth feel with beautifully integrated ripe black cherry fruit, anise, spicy oak and black pepper. It also offers a highly concentrated fruit rich finish. Rated: 94 International Wine Review, June 2008
