1987 Ridge, Petite Sirah, York Creek, Devils Hill


Very dark. Raspberry and strawberry aromas on nose. Black raspberry flavors, moderate acid, still hard tannins, and a long astringent finish. Tasting notes for this bottle are similar to the other bottle I had in April. I don’t have anymore, but you have to wonder if the fruit will be gone before the tannins ever soften out in this one. Other vintages from Devils Hill have not had this problem. My rating 84.
