Wine Details
Price:
$10.00 per bottle
Description:
The grapes were harvested in October, 2000 from the Rhodes Vineyard in Redwood Valley. We make Petite Sirah mainly for blending with Zinfandel as it provides color, spiciness and mid-palate. However in 2000 we had 3 barrels of Grenache that cried out for this same blending style. Petite Sirah has been adopted by the Rhone Rangers even though it is not a traditional Rhone varietal. In this case it melded with the Grenache to produce a truly Rhone style wine with pepper and black fruit flavors, nutmeg and raspberry. Moderate tannins will allow the wine to age gracefully, and the wine should be near its best by the end of 2004, if you can wait that long. A group of our fans in Sacramento recently tasted it and between them ordered 11 cases! Don't miss out on this bargain.
