Valley Oak Cooperage

Founded by winemakers with a passion for the best grapes, Valley Oak Cooperage originally dedicated itself to perfecting the art of making fantastic Merlots. But after winning prestigious award after prestigious award they decided to work on a new project: making the perfect expression of Zinfandel and Sirah. With a lot of hard work, the award-winning team from Valley Oak Cooperage has created a show-stopping wine that took home a silver medal at the 2017 Sommeliers Challenge.

The Valley Oak Cooperage 2016 Zinfandel-Petite Sirah is incredibly well balanced between the two grapes. The wine has fruit forward notes of plum and blackberry but is still restrained and easy to drink. Try it with grilled steaks and potatoes for an excellent evening in.
