We're Making News...
- KOKOMO 2007 Petite Sirah, Dry Creek Valley is rated 91 points on Wine Enthusiasts' website February 1, 2010
"The Yiddish word “zaftig” perfectly describes this Petite Sirah. It’s big, powerful and fleshy, with potent flavors of blackberries, cherries, plums, currants, dark chocolate, licorice, bacon and peppery spices, all wrapped into significant tannins. A very nice example of the variety, it’s dry and balanced, and should age for years. - S.H."
