Prince Vineyard

2010 Clarksburg Petite Sirah

Herzog Prince Vineyard's Petite Sirah from the 2010 vintage is a captivating red that showcases the rich terroir of Clarksburg. This full-bodied wine delivers a mouthwatering experience with its high acidity, which beautifully balances the prominent fruit intensity that features luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of pepper. The tannins are notable yet smooth, adding structure and depth to the palate without overpowering the delightful fruit character. As a dry wine, it is incredibly food-friendly, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening on its own. This Petite Sirah exemplifies the quality and finesse that Herzog is known for, all while capturing the essence of its remarkable growing region.

Region:


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
