The Elizabeth Spencer Special Cuvee is an exquisite Petite Sirah from the North Coast, showcasing a deep, vibrant red hue that draws you in. This wine presents a full-bodied structure, with remarkable acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to the palate, making each sip a delightful experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering rich notes of dark berries and ripe plums that harmoniously intermingle with subtle hints of spice. Its tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm backbone without overpowering the wine's smooth character. The dryness of this cuvee is just right, enhancing the overall balance and making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own. The 2005 vintage exemplifies the charm and complexity of this varietal, making it a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

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.
