Wine tasting in the Willamette Valley, showcasing Dundee Hills and Southern Oregon (Dundee Hills and Carlton, Oregon): Summer herb scents with mint and eucalyptus fade with a bit of air to broadcast garrigue, blood, sanguine, crushed black peppercorns and licorace wrapped in wild black fruit acids. This sybartic Petite Sirah will only improve with proper cellaring as the last 2 Folin PS vintages have shown. I wouldn't touch a bottle for at least 2-3 years for optimum reward. Excellent. Drink 2015 - ?

Folin Cellars with Henry’s Diner: Winemaker Dinner (Folin Cellars, Carlton Tasting Room): This density packed Petite Sirah offers dark plums, berries, woody herbs and peppered beef. Finishes with plenty of length and silken notes. Will only improve given more time in the cellar.
