Smith Vieyards

2013 Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah

Byington Smith Vineyards Petite Sirah from the 2013 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Dry Creek Valley region. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep, inky color and offers a pronounced acidity that is both bold and refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing lush flavors of blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of black pepper and chocolate. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth without overpowering the wine's rich fruit character. This wine is expertly crafted, making it a perfect choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
