Twisted Oak 2004 Petite Sirah, Silvaspoons Vineyard

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of your rich uncle’s old cedar cigar box blend smoothly into plum and blueberry explosions. When the fruit bombing stops you are left with a creamy smooth sensation of vanilla and cream. It’s like Grandma’s egg nog, Christmas Eve: nutmeg, cloves, allspice. There are some pert and supple tannins you’ll definitely want to hang with and let soften in the glass. A wine that leaves you smiling seductively, on the inside...

Vineyard Notes
Silvaspoons Vineyard is located Northeast of Galt in the Lodi region. The federal government has wisely recognized that the Lodi appellation should be split into 7 different sub-appellations and Alta Mesa is the new name for the district in which Ron Silva’s vineyard is located.

Petite Sirah from the valley floor is an early ripener with great natural tannin structure that does not inhibit the darker ripe fruit characters. Historically, valley floor Petite Sirah has been the backbone for California wines for nearly 100 years.

Vintage Notes:
The 2004 growing season started with a late bloom followed by a fairly average warming season which enabled us to acclimate the vines to the intense summer in this warm region. The fruit load was thinned to a projected 3.5 tons per acre, quite a small crop for these rich deep soils. To achieve full maturation of fruit without sacrificing natural acidity, we harvested in the middle of September.
