The nose offers inviting aromatics of dark ripe fruit laced with spice and oak notes and a subtle mineral essence. Luscious fruit-forward flavors caress the palate as they intertwine with the spicy core and underpinning firm structure. Delicious bright red berries—raspberry and strawberry—mingle with pomegranate arils, a touch of rhubarb and toasty oak.

This wine pairs beautifully with prosciutto-wrapped pork fillet drizzled with a rhubarb sauce, or ribs with a spicy blackberry glaze.

Winemaker Notes My father first produced Vignobles in the 1990’s as a way to showcase our Petite Sirah and other Rhone varietals in a savory blend that reflects the Dry Creek Valley terroir. And, as a side note, it was one of my favorite wines to sneak tastes of as a teenager. By blending four varietals from numerous, distinctively different Dry Creek Valley vineyards, we are staying true to Fred’s vision of showcasing how our local terroir creates a unique palate profile.
