Appellation Series

2005 San Francisco Bay Petite Sirah

The Rosenblum Cellars Appellation Series 2005 Petite Sirah from the San Francisco Bay region is a remarkable wine that captivates the senses with its deep, inky red color. This full-bodied red displays a pronounced acidity, providing a refreshing lift that beautifully balances its rich character. With high fruit intensity, the wine showcases luscious notes of blackberries and plums, along with hints of dark chocolate and spice, creating an indulgent tasting experience. The tannins are structured and firm, adding to the wine's complexity and enhancing its aging potential. It is dry, making it a versatile partner for a variety of hearty dishes. This exquisite expression of Petite Sirah truly reflects the unique terroir of the San Francisco Bay, showcasing the dedication and artistry of the winemakers at Rosenblum Cellars.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
