Just to recap Easter dinner, we enjoyed a 2005 Chase Cellars Petite Sirah, a 2004 Turley Pesenti Vineyard Zinfandel and for desert a Graham's Vintage Port 1994.

We all enjoyed the Chase P/Sirah but all came to the same conclusion, it was good not great now, we thought laying it down for a year would possibly make it a great wine.

The Turley Zin we all loved, full bodied without being fruit forward, and a great finish.

Last for desert was the Grahams, I'll have to say it was remarkably smooth with great balance, I'm just not sure if for my tastes it was worth $100.00.

We liked Turleys wine so much that on the way home we stopped back at the tasting room, we bought several more Zins and a couple 2004 Haynes Vinyard P/Sirahs, I'll look forward to drinking these in the next few months.
