DENSE & JUICY. Big, rich, concentrated flavors or ripe
black in this medium to full bodied red! The rich fruit is supported by medium,
yet firm tannins and framed by the mild sweet oak. This wine is hefty enough
for even the heaviest of meals.
96% Petite Sirah, 4% Zinfandel
Charlie Barra planted the home ranch, Redwood Valley
Vineyards, in 1955, and has farmed approximately 200 acres of organic varietal
wine grapes ever since. Sitting on the benchlands above the headwaters of the
Russian River in Mendocino County, the vineyards share the land with five
ponds, open space for wildlife and pasture for smaller animals. All water used
for irrigation and frost protection is from winter run-off from the pristine
watersheds that surround the vineyards. |
