One of my favorite winemakers shows her talents yet again, shining through a blind flight of Petite Sirah and standing out amongst her peers. Black and blue berries, pepper and mild menthol all walk the tightrope of structure found only in the best examples. This will work well now with a long decant, or it will cellar for the long haul. Way to go Carol! A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Monterey International Wine Competition.
