Islay Peak

2004 Central Coast Petite Sirah

The Edna Valley Vineyard Islay Peak is a captivating Petite Sirah from the renowned Central Coast region, known for its exceptional terroir and vibrant microclimates. This vintage showcases a deep, inky red color that hints at its bold character. With an ample body, it presents a luscious mouthfeel complemented by well-rounded acidity that adds a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring layers of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, beautifully intertwined with subtle notes of baking spices and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm yet approachable, lending structure without overwhelming the palate, resulting in a harmonious balance. This wine is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich dishes or savoring on its own. The 2004 vintage exemplifies the quality and complexity that Edna Valley wines are celebrated for, promising an unforgettable experience.

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.
