92 pts – Wine Enthusiast

This wine is concentrated, with aromas of boysenberry, olallieberry, cardamom, black tea, toasty vanilla and violets on the nose. The flavors on the palate are pomegranate-cranberry, dark cherry and orange zest, interwoven with vanilla cream, dried allspice, chocolate and a dry finish. — Tonya Pitts

The Michael David Winery Inkblot Petite Sirah is a powerhouse of flavor and depth, showcasing the extraordinary potential of Petite Sirah, especially when nurtured in the hands of Lodi’s premier winemaking family. This wine captivates with its inky purple hue, signaling the intensity and richness that lie within. Aromatically, it unfolds with a complex array of dark fruits, notably blueberries and blackberries, enriched by luxurious notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and a hint of toasty oak, alluding to its meticulous aging process. The palate is met with a robust and full-bodied experience, where the opulent dark fruit flavors are beautifully balanced by velvety tannins and a slight peppery spice, leading to a long, compelling finish that is both bold and elegantly structured.
