Tasting - Crane Lake Petite Sirah

Name: Crane Lake 
Variety: Petite Sirah 
Region: California 
Country: USA 
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95 
Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins. 
Your Review:
On the nose, I smell some berries.  Upon tasting, it seemed very tart.  Like the fruits were not well developed.  This is unlike other Syrah I've had, so maybe that's the Petite influence.  This would be tough to drink more than one or two glasses.
I did not taste this with food.
