Notes "Dropped back to terra firma, the alien crafts vanish. We return better, wiser souls. We are revived with hearts aflame never to be the same. In fact, we long to do it all over again. 2018 Fred & Dora’s Old Vine Petite Sirah is the place where red meets black and space meets place. Medium bodied, It has enough scale to stand tall and balanced" - Hardy Wallace
