Clay Station Petite Sirah 2002


Clay Station Petite Sirah 2002

This Clay Station Petite Sirah took us aback on opening because of a touch of vinegar on the nose, but that cleared off with a bit of swirling of the Riedel glass. (It's a $21 bottle of wine here; we wanted to give it a chance to show itself off.) The initial impression may also have been influenced by the fact that garlic was cooking at the time. Good tannin--it no doubt would have aged longer--but also lots of fruit; Margaret Anne detected blueberry notes. Very nice. Our rating: 7.5/10.
