Amber View Vineyard

2012 Lake County Petite Sirah

The Oak Cliff Cellars Amber View Vineyard Petite Sirah from the 2012 vintage is a delightful expression of Lake County's unique terroir. This captivating red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, enriched by pronounced acidity that adds vibrancy and energy to the wine. The fruit intensity is remarkable, offering a medley of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. Tannins are structured yet approachable, providing a firm backbone without overshadowing the wine's lush fruit characteristics. This bold and expressive Petite Sirah strikes a perfect balance, making it a fantastic choice for those seeking a rich, rewarding wine experience.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
