2012 Petite Sirah, Estate Bottled, Russian River Valley 750ml 4-Pack

The 2012 Estate Petite Sirah is truly a treat for the senses. Deep, dark, inky red in color it has rich aromas of Blueberry and Dark Chocolate with subtle earthy hints. The lush mouthfeel is the perfect foil to bright brambly berry flavors that slowly give way to blueberry, dark chocolate, and blackberry and a delightfully long finish. Pair this with oxtails with a Port porcini sauce or a delectable lamb ragú.

While many winemakers treat Petite Sirah like a Cabernet, Winemaker Natalie West prefers gentle handling of her Estate Petite Sirah and even treats it like a Pinot Noir. Once in the cellar, the grapes are fermented in open top fermenters with punch downs three times a day, followed by gentle pressing. To help control tannins, Natalie uses only 30 percent new oak. While most of the oak is French, she does like a touch of Hungarian oak to add a little sweetness to the finish. After the aging process, the barrels are blended before bottling.


2012 Pinot Noir, Estate Bottled, Russian River Valley 750ml

2012 offered growing conditions that were as close to perfect as possible and allowed us to produce an outstanding Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Classic Pinot aromas of cherry, rhubarb, and cola follow through to the palate and are balanced with lively acidity and subtle tannins. It is a Pinot that is as ideally suited for quaffing as it is pairing with grilled salmon or a herbed pork tenderloin.

Our Pinot Noir grapes were hand-harvested at night to ensure cool temperatures and to minimize oxidation of the fruit. Winemaker Natalie West used the more gentle method whole berry fermentation and, to maximize fruity aromatics and vibrant color, cold soaked the grapes in 5-ton, open-top fermenters. After gentle pressing, she placed the wine in French Oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation, monthly battonage, and sur lie aging to develop fruitiness and a creamy mouthfeel.

Located just south of the town of Healdsburg, Foppiano Vineyards sits on 160 acres in the acclaimed appellation of the Russian River Valley. Cool morning fog and warm summer days create an ideal microclimate for grape growing. The Foppiano family has been producing world class fruit on this land since its purchase in 1896. Today the vineyard is planted to Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Sauvignon Blanc on the warmer bench lands, and Pinot Noir & Chardonnay on the cooler lower lying land close to the Russian River.


2012 Zinfandel, Estate Bottled, Russian River Valley 750ml

The 2012 Estate Zinfandel highlights all of the best qualities and subtlety of a classic Russian River Valley Zinfandel. Fragrant and fruity aromas of raspberry and boysenberry follow through to the palate and lead to a delicately spicy finish of cassis and black pepper. A silky mouthfeel and bright acidity make this wine ideal for pairing with a remarkably wide variety of foods. Some of the favorite pairings include BBQ, herb and cheese stuffed mushrooms, and slow cooked pot roast.

Only the second vintage produced from the estate vineyard, the fruit was harvested at night, then de-stemmed to open top fermenters. The fruit was kept cold for 4 days to extract the beautiful color and classic Zinfandel flavors, followed by a 14 day fermentation. After pressing the wine was put to barrel, a combination of neutral oak, new French oak, and American oak where the wine was aged for 14 months.

The story of Foppiano Vineyards is a family epic full of tradition, perseverance and contributions to the history of Sonoma County and the wine industry.

Founded in 1896 by Giovanni Foppiano, Foppiano Vineyards is one of Sonoma County's oldest continually-operated, family-owned wineries. Our family has supplied northern California with wine for over a century, surviving Prohibition in the 1920s by selling home winemaking kits. We believe that through the strength of the family and a commitment to quality, our traditions can be maintained and thrive.

We're proud to be one of the founding members of the Russian River Valley AVA, and continue to enjoy the fruits of our hardworking Italian heritage. To stay on the cutting edge of quality winemaking, we've made important investments in infrastructure and winery equipment throughout the years. The vision of the fifth generation of Foppianos, together with Giovanni’s foresight to purchase land in the Russian River Valley, guides our family into the future while creating a world class wine program representative of our history.
