A Fine Dessert Wine

2008 Temecula Valley Petite Sirah

Joseph Filippi A Fine Dessert Wine, a delightful 2008 vintage from the renowned Temecula Valley, showcases the rich and vibrant character of Petite Sirah. This full-bodied red wine boasts a profound intensity that envelops the palate with luscious flavors of dark fruits, including blackberry and plum, harmoniously complemented by hints of chocolate and spice. Its high acidity provides a refreshing contrast, enhancing the overall mouthfeel and making each sip a truly enjoyable experience. The tannins are firm yet smooth, adding structure without overwhelming the fruit, while the wine remains beautifully balanced and undeniably captivating. As a dessert wine, it strikes a lovely harmony between sweetness and depth, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an exquisite and memorable treat.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
