Tasting Notes for Lodi Vineyards EARTHQUAKE Petit Sirah 2005

This petite sirah hails from Lodi, California, north of Stockton, south of some town named 'Sacramento'. You may know that area, but I'll never ever be in CA so you know better than I. Nose of pure prosciutto. Tastes of bacon, ripe plum, Bing cherry, soft almost Almond oak, compliant Arugula spice.absolute deliciousness, one and half minute finish shadowed by slight persimmon - a true sparkle in the finish! Molto Benni Michael and David Phillips: Le congratulazioni sul realizzare il merito, non possono attendere per provare altri terremoti! Grazie. -Can't wait to try other EarthQuakes! Thanks.

In a recent tasting of Lodi Zin, i was glad to see this was in the mix. It seems every time I try this in a blind tasting it finishes at or near the top and this was no exception. Mine and the groups number one wine. It has great value and really is a top notch wine in the big, brawny filled with fruit category of Zins. Inky purple in color. The nose was a bit funky/dusty at first but with air opened to show black raspberries, plums, coffee and cedar. On the palate, this is full bodied. No noticeable tannins. A lovely full bodied texture with juicy black raspberry fruit. Also some

The cork crumbled on opening and the wine was decanted. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has boysenberries, char, slight ink scent and a bit of blueberries. Full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, the blueberries are more pronounced and plenty of boysenberries with underlying char. Still has youthful energy. Good finish. This is drinking well now but still young. No harm opening or letting it age another ten to fifteen years. It probably won't get much better. It will work well with pizza, burger but also roasts and grilled foods.

This is 98% Petit Manseng with 2% Sauvignon Blanc. While I slightly preferred the Intention, this is outstanding as well. Early Mountain in particular and Virginia in general are really making some exciting wines from Petit Manseng and Sauvignon Blanc. This is light golden in color with just a touch of green hues, clear and bright. The nose is fresh and vibrant with orange zest, slight dried herbal note, powdered ginger and a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied. Creamy texture. Nice balance. On the palate, this is crisp and tasty.

Score:

Grade:

This is a blend of 93% Syrah and 7% other Rhone varietals. It is in a great place right now and seems to be at peak. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, bramble, gravel and smoke. Full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, great texture. Plenty of ripe black raspberry fruit with some underlying char. Nice finish. Nice on its own, this will work well with grilled or roasted foods. Drink over the next five years.
