Varietal: 84% petite sirah, 16% zinfandel
Appellation: Alexander Valley
Sensory Notes: The 2014 Big River Petite Sirah begins with dark, brooding earthy aromatics of leather and wild mushrooms. The palette exhibits complex layers of cassis, plum and blueberries. The finish is long and lingering with delightfully approachable tannins. This wine will age wonderfully for years to come.
Vineyards Notes: The Big River Ranch property sits on a picturesque benchland above the Russian River in the Alexander Valley. The deep red soils and hot summer days typical of Alexander Valley create wines full of character and complexity. Early morning fog from the nearby Russian River allows for a longer growing season for these coveted wines.
Cellar Recommendations: Enjoy this wine through 2024.
