The key to Petite Sirah is being gentle, the grape has a lot of power and the tannins can take over if one's not popular. Armed with this knowledge we went soft on the grapes. The result is dark and sensual with a lively freshness.

Aromas of blueberry, coffee cake and violet entice you to taste this big juicy, mouth coating wine and revel in savory darkness, finishing with fine supple tannins and flavors of ripe black plums
Vineyard Notes
We sourced this beautiful fruit from a neighboring vineyard James Creek Road, it is managed by Eakle Vineyard Management. Pope Valley Winery is located in the northeastern hills just beyond Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. We have a warm growing climate with cool evenings and mornings which allow the grapes to hang on the vine long enough to ripen to their fullest potential yet cool enough at night to develop complex varietal aromas. Pope Valley wines express the historic character that established Napa Valley as one of the premier growing regions in the world.
