HERMAN STORY FIRST TIME CALLER 2022

Description

All Petite Sirah, the 2022 First Time Caller comes from the Shell Creek and Rolph vineyards in Paso Robles and spent 18 months in 80% new barrels. This saturated purple-hued effort offers tons of jammy blue fruit as well as full-bodied richness, a round, plush, seamless mouthfeel, lots of spicy, peppery nuances, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a big, rich, sexy Petite Sirah that stays balanced, graceful, and oh, so drinkable. -Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2024
