Summary: After several years as a home winemaker, we stumbled upon the legendary Petite Sirah grapes from the Suisan Valley in CA. This unique region just southeast of Napa Valley is renown for producing the finest Petite Sirah grapes and boy were we hooked! One fermentation and we knew this was a wine we could found the winery around. The wine we crafted from those grapes was a unique blend that elevated beyond the individual varietals. Similarly, a chemical alloy is more than the sum of its elements with individual characteristics combining to form a unique new metal. Our flagship wine Alliage similarly combines Petite Sirah and select other varietals to form a full-bodied wine that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
Tasting Notes:
Aromatic notes of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, black currants, nutmeg & earthy cocoa partners with a dense tannin structure and broad mouthfeel that seductively teases your taste buds. A wine made to pair with grilled meats during a summer cookout or an elegant beef roast on a chilly winter’s evening.
Aging Potential: Lovely to drinkable in 2024, but will reach maturity in 5-7 years
Food Pairing Suggestions: Grilled steak, roast pork, St. Louis BBQ, eggplant parmigiana, a spicy bean chili, or dark chocolate.
