Saturated black-ruby to the rim. Unforthcoming but pure aromas of dark berries, violet and dark chocolate. Less sweet than the zinfandel, and more muscular, but there amazingly dense blackberry and licorice flavors and powerful underlying spine.

This is a good degree and a half lower in alcohol than the Hayne zin. Superb petite sirah, but the Rattlesnake bottling may possess even more fruit.

This is not wine. I'm not certain what it is. All I know is that it is nearly black, thicker than port, and amazingly good. Those who cannot get a hold of this wine (or the Turley Rattlesnake Acres Petite Sirah) should check out D'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz -- this is the closest wine I've had to this -- and is actually almost as good.
