This wine in the glass has a beautiful burgundy color. The initial whiff of this seductive wine produces aromas of spiced blackberry, plum, dried cherry and baking spices. On the palate, you swirl this rich dark wine around in your mouth and the initial sensation is that of luscious, juicy, freshly-picked ripe blackberries and freshly baked blackberry pie, lightly spiced. The second sip explodes with sweet ripe black cherries, black licorice, black plums and black pepper with moderate tannins and juicy acidity.
In 1992, Peirano Estate Vineyards began bottling and selling wine using their estate grown grapes. Until this point, Lance Randolph, fourth generation Peirano, produced wine simply for his enjoyment and that of his close family and friends.
After HAND-PICKING into small bins for the most delicate transportation of the fruit, the grapes were lightly crushed into the tank for fermentation.
Pairs well with various dishes, from that gourmet burger on the grill, to a nut-crusted seared rare ahi. Our favorite is a tomato sauce pasta with Italian sausage sautéed in green & red banana peppers, onion and fresh garlic.
