Lake County Petite Sirah

Lake County Petite Sirah Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2004 August Briggs Lake County Petite Sirah is our third vintage from this beautiful Lake County vineyard, This full bodied wine was produced from Black Rock vineyard located in the red hills between Lakeport and the city of Lower Lake off the southern shore of Clear Lake. This vineyard is quite unique being planted on a bed of broken obsidian and dark red soil. The vines are head trained in the old style, thus yielding two to three tons per acre. Very dark in color, cola & dark fruit aromas, with black berry & black cherry flavors. This petite sirah is traditional in style with a solid fruit core followed by a mounthful of intense flavors and smooth tannin. 10% zinfandel was blended in for roundness. Beef steak recommended as a side dish!
