Features

2010 Kent Rasmussen Napa Valley Chavez & Leeds Vineyard, Rutherford Petite Sirah 750ml 3-Pack

2010 was about as good a vintage as ever happens for perfect Petite Sirah ripening.  We had a long modesty warm summer and a dry fall that lingered on and on.  Leed’s-Chavez vineyard is a classic “Rutherford Bench” vineyard with deep soils and lots of water-holding capacity for these old dry farmed vines.  It all added up to a wine with wonderful definition and depth.

Nose: Classic Petite Sirah—yet with structure.  At first what hits you is the rich “grapiness” of the nose, and then a wonderful black pepper character pops up that then integrates into a medley of Petite Sirah scents… bramble-berry, reed-grass, tar, and cassis.

Mouth: Once again, black pepper is in abundance, but also tons of rich fruit—ripe blueberries and raspberries.  As the wine washes into your mouth you will get a depth of mouthfeel that you don’t often find in wine.  Layer upon layer of nuance flavors, nicely integrated with good oak warmth and balanced tannins.  The wine is beautifully smooth with virtually no sharp points sticking out.

Vendor Details

Kent Rasmussen Winery

Owner:
Kent Rasmussen
Founded:
1986
Location:
St. Helena, CA

Since its modest beginnings, the Kent Rasmussen Winery has evolved into one of the most important producers in the Napa region. The winery outgrew its tractor shed barrel room on Cuttings Wharf Road in the Napa Carneros long ago. In 1995, Kent and Celia established a new winemaking facility in a turn of the century slaughterhouse, on the Silverado Trail in St. Helena. Refined over the years, it now houses business offices, an oenology lab and lab tasting room, a wine library and upgraded production equipment. The modern crusher, press, tanks, catwalks, refrigeration systems, pumps, forklift and fruit sorter have greatly enhanced winemaking options. Grapes are either estate grown or under long term contract with reliable growers.
