The 2021 Petite Sirah is a sophisticated and sumptuous example of the varietal, one of the most complex examples of Petite Sirah you will find. Blueberry and baked huckleberry lead the aromas, with a hint of white pepper, dried herbs and toasted bread. The flavors mimic the aromas with a substantial mid-pallet of blueberry, black tea, baked cherry, fruit preserves and licorice. The wine finishes with pie crust, oak spice and tannins developing into a pleasant textural polish.

The aroma of our 2021 Zinfandel centers on red raspberry, jammed dark fruit, cinnamon spice and clove. Hints of sliced ripe plum, black tea and lavender oil adds to its complexity. Flavors of blueberry, elderberry, and cranberry are enhanced with oak spice and baking notes from the barrels. These flavors marry with soft tannins for a long and mouthwatering finish.

Aromas of apple blossom, jasmine, ripe apricots and warm straw with hints of crème brulee flitting about the edges. The palate entry is full and rich with a gorgeous mouthfeel and flavors of d'anjou pear, golden delicious apple skin and honeysuckle that give way to a bright minerality, pineapple and lychee notes. The tangy finish lingers beautifully with its focused acidity. A delicious, classic Chardonnay.

Influenced by the French oak and 55 months of yeast aging, this bubbly is complex, rich, and carries a very long finish. Fresh, aromatics of baked apple, nutmeg, and sweet bread dough follow through to the palate. Additionally, notes of lemon custard, and dried apricot add complexity to the flavor profile. The full bodied, creamy mouth feel is supported by a vibrant acidity. Wonderful by itself or pair with a variety of dishes including: oysters, sushi, Asian and Latin cuisine, hard cheeses like Parmesan or a rich triple cream such as St. Andre.

An explosion of black fruit, cinnamon, rose petals, dried thyme and warm tar on the nose gives way to a full, structured palate. Flavors of dark plum, blackberries, blueberries and a dense minerality lead into a softer mid palate, well integrated oak and balanced acidity. The lingering finish tastes pleasantly of plums and mulling spices. Great for grilling.

Beautiful, star-bright, pale gold color. Scents of meyer lemon curd, honeysuckle, vanilla, grated nutmeg, white tea and lemon balm on the nose. The palate starts creamy and voluptuous with notes of brioche, beeswax and chamomile leading into golden delicious apple skin, lemon mint and fresh ginger on the bright, lingering warm and nutty finish. Delicious and snappy, this would pair well with a wide variety of chicken or pork dishes.

Per usual for this cuvee you can tell this will be delicious upon first whiff. Santa Rosa plum, lilac, toasted rosemary, shiitake mushrooms and roasted Aleppo pepper in the nose give way to juicy flavors of fresh plum, dark cherry, blackberry tart, toasted coriander and grilled meat. The luscious, soft tannins lead to a vanilla and rose petal flecked velvety finish that very slowly fades away. Juicy with a solid mineral core.

Delightfully aromatic nose. Scents of red plum, raspberry compote, rhubarb, bay leaf and lavender. A pop of brightness introduces the soft palate with flavors of fresh raspberry, bing cherry, warm chapparal and hints of fennel pollen. Complex notes of earth, dark-chocolate and red fruit linger in the finish. Drink now with chicken, pork or lamb dishes or stock up and age for at least a decade.

Family Story: On August 15, 1926 a truly historic event occurred at Foppiano Vineyards. Federal treasury agents enforced and supervised the dumping of over 100,000 gallons of red wine. The wine quickly overwhelmed the winery drains and flowed out of doors and down the streets. It became the most popular place in Healdsburg as locals rushed to fill bottles and buckets of wine. The blend that was lost that day was made up of our best estate as is this blend.

A beautiful garnet color. Aromas of red plum, cocoa powder, allspice, marionberry and crushed rose petals emanate from the glass. The medium body and soft, supple tannins give way to red raspberry, Surinam cherry, Santa Rosa plum and pink peppercorns. Lingering espresso powder and oak spice notes fade slowly on the finish. Delicious!

A bouquet of rose petals, oil cured olives, river rock, cranberry and raspberry jumps out of the glass as you swirl and sniff. Restrained and elegant red and black fruit flavors drape over the tongue with very well integrated oak notes and velvety tannins. Beautiful concentration and a lingering finish make this another delicious vintage of Petite Sirah.

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, red raspberry, and blackberry syrup are balanced with French oak tones of spice, dried herbs and vanilla. On the palate, one can find black current, root-beer, and a touch of lavender. Black plum, more dried herbs and cocoa linger in the finish with silky tannins, which set up this "last pick" wine for ageing of up to 10 years.
