Wine Description
"Paul Dolan and the Thornhill
family joined forces to buy
Parducci in 2004, converting
this old Mendocino winery into
a thoroughly modern one. This
petite takes Parducci into a
new league."

"Last year's head-turning True Grit bottling redefined what was possible in good Petite Syrah, and this latest effort again comes through with flying colors. While its weight and plainly evident tannins are in keeping with varietal expectations, its very deep fruit and complexing mix of spice and oak moves it right to the head of the class. It may be a bit of a bruiser, but then that is what Petite Syrah is, and as much as it will please adoring fans of the grape early on, it deserves four or five years in which to reach its full potential."
