Heritage Grower Series

2013 Alexander Valley Petite Sirah

The Seghesio Family Vineyards Heritage Grower Series Petite Sirah from the 2013 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of the Alexander Valley. This red wine presents itself with a deep, inky color that entices the senses. On the palate, it is full-bodied and possesses a bold acidity that enhances its vibrant character. The fruit intensity is remarkable, with rich notes of dark berries and plums complementing undertones of spice and earthiness. Tannins are pronounced, providing structure and a firm backbone, while the wine maintains a dry profile that adds to its appeal. It is a perfect accompaniment for hearty dishes, making it a delightful choice for any gathering.

Region:


Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
