This actually scored even higher than the Cabernet:
This deep-colored, richly fruity and full-bodied wine wraps its blueberry, cedar and vanilla flavors in lots of fine-grained tannins. It is smooth for its size, rather mature in aroma and best to drink through 2028.
Also 92 from Wilfred Wong:
The 2019 Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Sirah is full bodied, yet it stays lively on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, tar, and oak. Try it with a savory beef stew.
Again, great reviews on Vivino, like this:
Berry, leather, tobacco and herbal on the nose. Berries and chocolate on the palate. Silky smooth with just the right amount of tannin to balance it out. This is a very rich and delicious wine.
And CellarTracker:
Heavy bottle. 100% Petite Sirah. I have stated countless times that PS is far from my favorite variety. Very far. But I have always enjoyed the Mettler version. Inky dark in the glass with rich black raspberry compote, plum, cassis, and a heavy dose of mocha. In fact, I would say that the mocha is the primary note here and the fruit takes a bit of a back seat. The roles are reversed on the palate as the fruit is front and center and refuses to give up the stage. That fruit is magnificent from start to finish with a burst of tartness and a touch of black earth. Excellent.
