Drank with Z in Healdsburg at Gustafon's tasting room. Really good... Smooth, balanced, spicy, and not too fruity. We both liked it a lot.

Very strange that most small wineries, even those that have grown out of a winemaker’s garage and into the commercial market do not want to be considered “craft” or “artisan.” Somehow they don’t want to be associated with the authenticity that goes along with those.

Anyway, this is a wonderful small winery that made 380 cases of this extraordinary Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah. Definitely authentic.

It was a little corked :( but we still enjoyed it. It just had a slight mustiness.
