Papapietro Perry Winery

Papapietro Perry Winery Papapietro Perry’s foundation is a long friendship among work colleagues with common interests and a driving passion to make fine wine. Ben Papapietro and Bruce Perry met during their careers with the San Francisco Newspaper Agency, publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner. As their friendship developed, they discovered they both came from families where Grandpa’s homemade wine was as common on the dinner table as vegetables from Mom’s garden. Their interest in wine spilled into another friendship at work, this time with Bert Williams, a pressman and co-founder of Williams Selyem Winery. In the ‘70s, Ben helped Bert make garragista wine in Bert's garage in Sonoma County. After Williams Selyem was started, Ben and Bruce helped out each year at harvest—and were seriously bitten by the wine bug. In 1980, Ben began producing his own garragista wines and Bruce joined him a few years later. Inspired by his love of French Burgundies, Ben began making Pinot Noir, diligently seeking high-quality grapes to produce his favorite varietal. By 1990, Ben was purchasing Pinot Noir grapes from some of the most highly-regarded Pinot producers in the Russian River Valley. After several years of hearing friends and family praise their homemade wines, in 1998 Ben and Bruce took the plunge and produced their first commercially available Pinot Noir. Although the first release was only 75 cases, it marked the launch of Papapietro Perry Winery. Once the winery was established, Renae Perry soon found herself assisting husband Bruce and friend Ben in the marketing and sales side of the business. Renae made sure wines were available to wine competition judges and soon the name Papapietro Perry started turning up on the Gold Medal lists at national wine competitions. Their 1999 Pinot Noir was declared one of Decanter Magazine's Top 100 Wines for 2001. Quite an honor for this yet unnoticed winery.

  Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard
This well-structured wine rides the stylistic line between richness and elegance. It has a smoky, toasty nose touched with just the right amount of enticing berry aroma. The core cherry, stone fruit and cola flavors are infused with a well-integrated measure of spiciness. Bright acidity gives this complex wine a backbone that delivers a satisfying black cherry finish.
  Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
This elegant wine has bright floral and berry aromatics giving way to a rich complex mouthfeel. The crisp raspberry and citrus tones are influenced by a measure of toastiness, with lively acids delivering a pleasing earthy finish. We expect this wine to age wonderfully given the well-balanced acidity, complex citrus-berry flavors and mineral quality that we’ve come to expect from Russian River Valley fruit.

  Pinot Noir Russian River Valley ~ Leras Family Vineyards
Deep ruby red in color leading to a highly aromatic nose of caramel, vanilla, clove, allspice and smoke.

The wine is full-bodied and well balanced with the fruit carrying through to a long complex finish.
  Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

This is a Pinot style Zinfandel, extremely elegant, full-bodied with perfect complexity, intense pepper, berry and a hint of spice. The tannins are smooth, adding firm structure without overpowering.
