Technical characteristics
  • BrandValley
Description
Our flagship wine! Full-bodied and robust with blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts and sweet vanilla. The smooth, even tannins allow a long, silky finish.
  • TASTING NOTES
On the nose, robust blackberry and dark chocolate are the predominant aromatics with a touch of anise and white pepper. The fruity aromas follow on the tongue, commingled with full-bodied black cherry, blueberry, hints of dark toasted hazelnuts and sweet vanilla. The well-managed, even tannins produce a long, silky finish with luscious black fruits to the end.
  • WINEMAKER NOTES
While many winemakers treat Petite Sirah like Cabernet, Winemaker Natalie West prefers gentle handling of her Estate Petite Sirah and even treats it like Pinot Noir. Once in the cellar, the grapes experience a gentle press and are fermented in open top fermenters with punch downs three times a day. To help control tannins, Natalie only uses 30 percent new oak. While most of the oak is French, she does like a touch of American oak to add a little sweetness to the finish. After the aging process, the barrels are blended before bottling.
  • VINEYARD NOTES
Foppiano Vineyards sits on a 160-acre estate in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, where the Foppiano family has been producing world-class fruit since 1896. 100 percent of the grapes for this wine came from our estate Petite Sirah vineyards, which are sustainably farmed by fifth-generation Paul Foppiano to ensure quality fruit for years to come. The 2009 vintage brought cooler, yet even, weather which balanced the wine's fruit and acidity. The result is a classic Petite Sirah, singing with blueberry, black cherry and smooth tannins.
  • FOOD PAIRINGS
Pair this rich wine with grilled or roasted lamb chops, braised meats, dark chocolate desserts, or hearty, aged cheeses such as Asiago, Parmesan Reggiano or Gouda.
