Intermixed in the vineyard with Petite Sirah, Carignane and Mataro. The goal was to create a wine that was definably Zinfandel, but with the added nuances that the other varietals lend. The color of our 2011Bernier Sibary Zinfandel is dark, black-purple-red in hue. It is a very dense wine in appearance, followed with equal density in its aromas and flavors. In the nose are aromas of black fruits, raspberries and a hint of earth. This wine is incredibly elegant, but is also a complex in its aromas. On the palate the flavors are long and satisfying.

The 2009 vintage took a little longer in the bottle to show itself but it is well worth the wait. Classic stone fruits, blackberry and white pepper jump out and almost dance on the palate. Hard to keep the smile off of Kerry’s face as it has been giving him goosebumps the last few times he has enjoyed a glass.
 

GOLD MEDAL - 2011 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMPETITION

Very limited offering made from a 1-acre section of the famed Maple Vineyard, this is our biggest and jammiest Zin, made with grapes harvested from 80-year-old vines.

This is a very pretty wine on several levels. It has great color density and depth. The Petite Sirah dimension is significant and lends significant credibility. The aromas are a classic black fruit melody of wild blackberry and blueberry. The flavors are deep with ample structure for term ageing. A very nicely defined Zinfandel with elegance and well proportioned lines in all the right places.
