Islay Peak

2004 Central Coast Petite Sirah

The 2004 Edna Valley Vineyard Islay Peak is a captivating Petite Sirah from California's Central Coast region. This full-bodied red wine showcases a beautiful deep ruby color that invites you to explore its complex character. With high acidity that adds a refreshing brightness, it's a mouthwatering delight that dances on the palate. The wine boasts prominent fruit intensity, featuring luscious blackcurrant and dark berry notes that are beautifully complemented by rich undertones of baking spices and a hint of chocolate. The tannins are notable and provide a firm structure, enhancing the wine's age-worthy potential. As a dry offering, this Petite Sirah pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes, making it a fantastic choice for both casual gatherings and elegant dinners.

Central Coast

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.
