Private Reserve
Petite Sirah

New 2005 Vintage

Released August 2007

This very limited Guglielmo (gool-YELL-mo) family specialty opens with dark plum and tart cherry fruit aromas with a potpourri of spice. This grape’s typical black pepper component is backed by cinnamon, leather, and a dusting of oak. The plum and pepper elements continue to the palate leading to a lingering dried fruit finish. Medium-bodied in style, this wine should be the perfect accompaniment for grilled beef, leg of lamb, and game dishes.

WINEMAKERS NOTES
Produced predominately from old vine Petite Sirah first planted by our Grandfather over 70 years ago. These vines continue to yield a Petite Sirah of unusual depth and character. To add complexity to the nose we included a small portion of Santa Clara Valley Merlot. This wine should continue to open up and gain additional complexities in the bottle for at least another 5–8 years. The 2005 vintage yielded approximately 556 cases.
