2004 Petite Sirah
Lodi
This Petite Sirah comes from Silva Spoon Vineyards in Lodi. Ron Silva is one of these special growers who are determined to elevate the Lodi Appellation to receive the recognition ...morethat it deserves. After our success with this variety in 2003 we crushed 15 tons of Petite Sirah in 2004. Some of this wine was used for blending but we bottled most of it under our C.G. Di Arie label.
This wine was made in our “Submerged Cap Fermentation Tank”. It was aged in French oak barrels for a full year. This well balanced wine starts with the fruit forward of dark berries and ripe plum, which grows in intensity in the mid-palate adding layers of chocolate, coffee and vanilla with a long finish of licorice and mocha.

2005 Zinfandel
Shenandoah Valley, CA
The wine was made in our “Submerged Cap Fermentation Tank” and aged for about a year in predominantly French Oak barrels. The aroma of this wine is dominated by black cherry w ...moreith nuances of black pepper. On the palate the dark fruit character becomes more pronounced adding layers of black berries and cassis while the black pepper flavor also intensifies. The long finish has more dark fruit with added layers of coffee and spice. This wine is very well balanced with a strong varietal identity.
This wine which is very drinkable now will age graciously and will become a gem in years to come.

2005 Petite Sirah Estate Grown
Shenandoah Valley, California
Petite Sirah contains generous amounts of tannin, color, and backbone. Most often used as a blender for just these reasons, it can be difficult to make a varietal wine. Understandi ...moreng these difficulties, we constructed a winemaking plan to maximize the varietal characteristics and minimize bitterness and harshness. The first step was to ensure the fruit had enough varietal character to complement their tannin and color. The grapes were harvested at the peak of ripeness to yield the maximum amount of fruit character possible. These fully mature grapes had the additional advantage of lower amounts of “green” or “harsh” tannins. In order to minimize the remaining “harsh” tannins, our Estate Petit Sirah was fermented in our stainless steel Submerged Cap Fermentation Tanks to ensure the resulting wine tannins would be “soft”. We then aged the wine in French and American oak barrels.
Inky dark purple in color the wine has an elegant nose that begins with blueberries and raspberries. Fruit gives way to cocoa and vanilla. On the palate notes of pencil shavings leads to mint, violets, smoked meats, and white pepper. The acidity in the long pleasant finish balances the tannins and

2006 Zinfandel/Petite Sirah
Taylor Mountain Vineyard & Elder Vineyard
Taylor Mountain Vineyard is nestled just below the saddle-shaped peak of Taylor Mountain, as depicted on the front label painting by well-known Sonoma Valley artist Michael Holland ...more. When John Shakleford Taylor settled in Sonoma Valley in 1853, his land holdings were the largest under one name in all of Sonoma County. On his most prized land he planted Zinfandel and Mission grapes. The Watkins Family has farmed Zinfandel on this breathtaking property since 1979, and we have found that the dark fruit and spicy flavors of Petite Sirah blend perfectly with the boysenberry jam and pepper components of Zinfandel. Elder Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley is carefully tended by Vineyard Micromanagement.
These low-yielding Zinfandel and Petite Sirah vines produce a concentrated and complex wine that is a great example of hillside-grown Zinfandel. The wine has humongous fruit yet perfectly balanced acidity and alcohol. It pairs well with spicier, saltier dishes such as paella with peppered chicken and spicy sausage or baby back ribs.
