Petite Sirah
Eaglepoint Ranch Vineyard
MendocinoThis 82-acre vineyard is situated at an 1800-foot elevation that keeps temperatures down 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Mendocino's flatlands. Hillsides of decomposed sandstone with veins of red loam keep vigor in check. While the Zinfandel initially made the vineyard famous, innovative wineries have recently been wowing the wine world with Syrah, Petite Sirah and Grenache bottlings. The Syrah often comes across as an old world, Crozes-Hermitage style with pepper, red and black fruits, and enough structure to age. We can also provide Grenache and a small amount of Petite Sirah from this site for those who want to make a vineyard blend.
Teldeschi Vineyard
Dry Creek ValleyThis vineyard produces Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah from vines that are up to 115 years old. Located on the valley floor, Teldeschi is a well-drained vineyard that experiences the full warmth of Dry Creek Valley.The Petite Sirah creates dense, dark and wild wines, and Petite Sirah's traditional tannins are tamed by the excellent levels of ripeness that this vineyard is able toconsistently achieve. If you like your wines big, this is the vineyard for you.
