Mazzocco Petite 2005

Posted on October 10, 2009 by RJ

Mazzocco, Dry Creek Valley, Aguilera, Reserve, Petite Sirah 2005 We picked this as our BOC Petite in the recent Harvest Fair. The competition was strong with many a great Petite. The beauty of this Petite is that the structure we associate with this grape is matched by a deep concentration of fruit. Add to that the fact the tannins are on the riper side and you have a winner. The wine was aged in French oak for 22 months. Proprietors Ken and Diane Wilson, Winemaker Antoine Favero P&B in Healdsburg 14.1% $34.99 at Bottle Barn Mazzocco
