- Innkeeper - 12-06-2007 1999 EOS, Paso Robles, Estate Bottled, Petite Sirah ($25). Alcohol level: 14.5%. We picked this one up at the winery during a ’02 trip out there. It is a black to eye as a wine can get. It gives you blackberries, black cherries, plums, and a hint of mint on the nose and upfront. A complex elixir of these fruits, along with an array of spices especially pepper caress the palate. Tannin is as smooth as a baby’s bum. It gives you a toasty satisfying finish. We enjoyed one fantastic wine in this one. We matched it with braised lamb shanks, brown Basmati rice, and peas. Delicious! - Drew - 12-06-2007 I've always liked the EOS line up particularly the PS which I've seen with really high alcohol levels...tasty stuff. Used to have a store nearby that offered EOS but no more and am having trouble finding some in this area. Drew - Drew - 12-17-2007 Found a lonely bottle of 2002 EOS Petite Sirah at at store I generally pass, don't know why, for $16 and brought it home. Will post on it soon.
