Petite Sirah Russian River Valley, Bacigalupi Vineyard
Tasting Notes
Bold and spirited, this Petite Sirah is a hearty red wine lover’s dream.
Fragrances of dried rose petals and tobacco swirl around a core of
black cherry and anise. Full-bodied on the palate, richly ripened
cherries and dates mesh with earthy walnut tones. Hints of espresso,
cocoa and cloves complete the tasting experience.
These grapes were grown by Bacigalupi Vineyards on river loam soils
along the Russian River. Situated in the northern section of the
Russian River Valley, close to Healdsburg, this area is hotter and
produces grapes of intense flavor. This Petite Sirah is the wellrecognized
old Foppiano clone, first planted over a century ago by the
Foppiano family.
Unfiltered and unfined.
