"One of the top Petite Sirah sites in California is the Palisades Vineyard, located in the northern end of Napa Valley east of the small village of Calistoga. The 37-75 year old vines can produce fabulous wines, and Carver-Sutro’s 2001 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard ranks alongside some of the finest California Petite Sirahs I have tasted. This 450-case, inky/purple-colored cuvee exhibits sumptuous aromas of graphite, blackberries, blueberries, acacia flowers, and barrique. A glorious display of fruit on the palate is followed by a full-bodied, concentrated, impeccably balanced red. High but sweet tannin is well-integrated in this infant Petite Sirah. It probably will not hit its peak for 7-10 years, and should last for 20-25."
