Petite Sirah 2002 - Boeger Winery

Sold Out

Black Pepper, caramel, vanilla, clove and honey are just a few of the aromatic components that jump out of a glass of this 2002 Reserve Petite Sirah. A very complex wine, more and more aromas develop as the wine breathes.

Tannin structure dominates this wine, as is typical with Petite Sirah, however, a soft acidity balances it out. Due to the tannins, this wine will age well for quite a few years. For those that like the tannin of Petite Sirah, enjoy it by itself. For those that are intrigued by its flavors and aromas, but aren't used to tannins, try it with your heartiest meat recipe. Only 348 cases of this wonderful wine produced.

The Boeger Winery is located in El Dorado County, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, made famous by the 1849 California Gold Rush. As a matter of fact, only 15 minutes from the winery, gold was discovered in the town of Coloma, by James Marshal. Boeger Winery sits on an 1850's ranch and winery homesteaded by the Fossati- Lombardo family - the original house, cellar, and distillery are still used today.
