Tofanelli Petite Sirah 2016, Napa Valley

Home > Red - All wines > Red - Syrah and Petite Sirah > Tofanelli Petite Sirah 2016, Napa Valley

Vince Tofanelli’s winemaking philosophy is all about California extraction with European elegance. Traditional winemaking techniques are used to allow the wine to age gracefully. This old-vine Petite Sirah has five percent Grenache added to bolster the spice and aromatics. This wine is built to age for a decade plus. This is one of the few categories in Napa with an affordable price point that can age with the best $150++ Napa Cabs. The 2016 Petite Sirah displays a dark as night hue, offering scents of black and blue fruits, spice box seasoning, and tilled soil nuances. It’s full-bodied, and full-throttle on the palate. With all the dark concentration, there is still a lovely silkiness around the edges. The bold tannin structure is starting to soften up with the extra few years of bottle age. This is at the perfect sweet spot to enjoy now with the ability to cellar for another five to seven years easily. Raise a glass to old-vine liquid history and to the Italian heritage that has shaped Napa Valley.

  • 2016 Shypoke Petite Sirah Amelia’s Block Napa Valley California USA

    $45.00

    Shypoke calls the Calistoga AVA home.  Their dirt to bottle history began in 1904, when Peter Heitz’ great grandparents immigrated from Alsace and literally planted roots.  Named after their daughter, Amelia Heitz, who helps craft the 2016 Shypoke Petite Sirah, Amelia’s Block.  In the vineyard, she helps her grandfather “Nonno” tend to the vines.  Opaque & rich in color. Aromas and flavors of ripe huckleberry, boysenberry and brown sugar. Magnificently judged ripeness, seemingly on the cusp of end-season richness, yet still married to early season freshness. Remarkable.

  • Sexual Chocolate 2018

    Add to cart
    $30.00

    As you can see from the picture – the front label is a handwritten tome by winemaker, Brandon Allen. Here is what it says, “This bottle originated from a bootlegging operation my Buddies and I had in college. We started making wine knowing it would be used for late night drinking, and that the French are annoying. It took some time, but we finally perfected our Blend, and came up with this full bodied red that pairs well with Wednesday nights and pizza. We use grapes from all over California so we recomend [sic] this be drank [sic] immediately, and shared with girls.”

    It’s not getting routine; it just keeps getting better. The 2018 Sexual Chocolate is pure hedonism in a bottle, but crafted with great care and consideration toward quality. Having made the blend for nearly ten years, winemaker Brandon Allen has developed just the right formula for a wine that delivers loads of flavor for a value. The 2018 vintage is mostly a Syrah blend that delivers an intense combo of ripe, dark fruit with a long, smooth finish. This is a wine that can hold its own but is also a most welcome addition to a variety of foods.

    Opolo’s estate vineyards were established from 1994-1996, with sites on both the west and east side of Paso Robles. The topographically diverse, coastal landscape of the westside vineyards provides for an intense and unique flavor profile. The heat and dryness of the east side vineyard make it an ideal microclimate for growing Bordeaux varietals. Home to a wide range of varietals, the estate vineyards help allow the team at Opolo to create many unique single varietals as well as award winning blends. The Opolo Petite Sirah 2018 has a beautiful dark ink color at first glance, framed with nutmeg and smoked meats on the nose, followed by baked blueberries, ripe plum, coffee and mocha. Leading into its full bodied finish of firm tannins with blackberry and savory cinnamon spice. Drink now, cellar for 3-7 years.
