2005 Santino Eco Petite Sirah, Lodi |
||||||||||||||
 Winery stands as a tribute to excellence in winemaking. Since 1979, Santino has been producing wines from the soil of Amador County. Winemaker’s NotesOnce thought of as strictly a blending grape, Petite Sirah has emerged as one of the most interesting grape varieties available. The wine has deep color, rich aromatics and substantial flavors. We age the wine for a short time in tank then transfer it to oak barrels for six months of additional aging. The structure of this wine makes it a perfect candidate for hearty foods especially BBQ meats and rich pasta dishes such as Pasta Puttanesca.VintageThe growing season of 2005 started out with a normal spring but the record winter and spring rainfall gave plenty of early growth. A hot early summer continued the growth and berry development and a large crop was the result. The weather remained dry throughout the harvest, resulting in perfect fruit condition. Download PDF |
