OUR WINE
Puccioni 2006 "Old
Vine" Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley
Tasting
Notes:
The grapes for this wine were sourced
from 100-year-old vines at the Puccioni Ranch that were planted by our
great-grandfather, and 50-year-old vines planted and farmed by our
cousins (not sure if they will admit it?) at the Buchignani Vineyard on
Dry Creek Road. The wine has lovely aromas of ripe blackberries with
hints of violet and cedar, and dark cherry/chocolate flavors balanced
with that characteristic Puccioni spice in the finish. This wine is
ready to be enjoyed today, but can be aged for a few years too. (260
cases produced)
Puccioni 2006 Petite
Sirah
Tasting
Notes:
We are excited to be offering a VERY
limited bottling of a vineyard-designated Petite Sirah for the very
first time! The grapes came from Lambert Bridge Vineyard (Van Alyea) in
the heart of the Dry Creek Valley – just after Lambert Bridge. The wine
has deep, dark berry aromas, blueberry and chocolate flavors through the
mid palate, finishing with black pepper spice. You can age this wine,
but don’t be afraid to drink this Petite Sirah now – why wait?! (50
cases produced)
Winemaking:
The grapes were cold soaked for three days to promote extraction
and concentration. They were then
fermented in ¾ ton open top fermenters and
hand-punched
3x per day for maximum development
of color and varietal flavors. The wine was direct pressed to
barrels composed of French and American Oak where it finished
Malo-Lactic fermentation, and then aged for 18 months
in barrel.
