Winemaker’s Notes
You are welcome and encouraged to Stain your Teeth on this. We are not making any excuses for this big bad boy. From the beginning it seemed to have a life force all its own. I told Corey he should have given the Petite Sirah a little direction. But, Nooo! He said the wine could find its own way through this cruel world. This wine Starts Big; Stays Big; Finishes Big. Drink now or until it’s gone.
