[West End Wines] 2009 Artezin Zinfandel | West End Wines St Louis Wines - Wine ...: The 2009 Artezin Mendocino County Zinfandel represents a blend of the best grapes from vineyards in the ridgelines and bench lands of the Ukiah Valley in Mendocino County.

[Wine Lines] 2007 Artezin Petite Sirah, Mendocino County | Wine Lines: Many wineries include a dollop of Petite Sirah in their Zinfandel bottlings. Artezin includes a bit of Zin and a splash of Charbono in its varietal Petite Sirah, a wine that offers a basketful of dark berries in the mouth.

[Wine and Good Food] 2007 Artezin Petite Sirah | Wine and Good Food: The Artezin pours dark plum and the nose is very rich.  There are aromas of plum, dark cherry, and blackberry.   After first taste, I decide to decant the wine for an hour to let it develop a bit.  It really smoothes out and is much more enjoyable.   The Petite Sirah tastes of blackberry, dark currants, and a hint of tobacco.  The dusty tannins are followed by lingering notes of cocoa.  I do like the rich, earthy flavor of this wine but it would definitely benefit from a few more years in the bottle.   This wine should age nicely with a little more time.

[Wine Blog] Artezin Wines ~ High on a Hill, High on Art & Wine: This was my reason for visiting the Hess Collection, to explore its second label, because in that portfolio is a Petite Sirah and a member of PS I Love You.
