WTN: Come and get it, For crying out loud

2005 Scholium Project Babylon Tenbrink Vineyards California Petite Sirah
Five years ago I said about this wine: "This leaves me wanting the way so many PS's do. Solid wine, tasty, but lacking nuance and mystery." Last night's fared no better, drank like a five year old. And the thing is that will still be true 20 years from now. Youthful, monolithic, BORING.

It takes a very skilled hand to make an interesting Petite Sirah. There are not many of those hands around.

I sure don't run into them. Had exactly one in my whole life that I liked a lot, from Behrens and Hitchcock I think it was, a 2000 about five years ago. Not my kind of grape--if I'm in a tasting room and they're pouring one, I usually skip it.
