Salon Wine Selection

2010 Napa Valley Petite Sirah

Swanson Vineyards Salon Wine Selection is a captivating example of Petite Sirah from the renowned Napa Valley, showcasing the rich, ruby-red hues typical of the varietal. This 2010 vintage presents a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its boldness. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift to the wine's robust nature. Fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring layers of dark fruit flavors such as blackberries and plums, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and espresso. Tannins are structured and firm, lending a sense of depth and longevity to the wine. Despite its richness, it maintains an overall dry profile, making it a delightful choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own. This wine is a true testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Swanson Vineyards.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
