Description:
Petite Sirah is a black grape variety, perfectly suited to Rancho Cucamonga's foothill terroir of warm sunny days, cool nights and rocky, deep sandy loam. This thick-skinned grape produces robust wines of intense fruit with bold purple color and heavy tannin structure. This grape was once confused in California with the true Syrah/Shiraz, now however thought to be the same as the Durif grape. 2002 Petite Sirah is packed with rich fruit, round tannins, a fine acid balance and solid mouth feel. Aromas of cherries, currants and tobacco invite you for a closer look. Not for the faint-hearted, this "Monster" red is big and bold. Aged in new white oak French barrels, blended with 11% Cucamonga Zinfandel/Merlot. Pairs well with full-flavored entrees including spicy, red sauced pastas, rich roasts of beef, duck, goose, lamb and venison. Decant and enjoy the "Monster" now or cellar through 2008. Stock up on this one now. 13.8% alcohol. Limited bottling of 2928 bottles.
