Leaning Oak

2005 Red Hills Lake County Petite Sirah

Beringer Leaning Oak Petite Sirah from the 2005 vintage is a stunning representation of the Red Hills Lake County region. This wine showcases a deep red hue that hints at its intensity and richness. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied profile, with vibrant acidity that provides a bright and lively character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of blackberries and plums, complemented by savory undertones. Tannins are notable yet finely structured, offering a firm backbone that supports the wine without overshadowing its fruit. This Petite Sirah is masterfully dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own. The Beringer Leaning Oak is a delightful expression of its terroir, celebrating the unique qualities of its vintage and region.

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.
