A classic Petite, with vivid blueberry-scented fruit and a firm, well-defined tannic structure, this wine impresses most because of its superb length on the palate. A super barbecue wine, it also is a good candidate for cellaring. (Tasted blind at the 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair wine competition.)
