Californian Syrah certainly isn't a wine for the meek. This bold, spicy wine typically has heaps of raspberry, black fruit and heady levels of alcohol. Originating in the Rhone Valley, Syrah was first planted en masse in California in the 1980s, and the last 25 years have seen production of the grape swell. 

About Petroni Vineyards

Lorenzo Petroni’s dream was to be the first California vintner to grow the prized Sangiovese Grosso clone from his native Tuscany in Sonoma soil. He sensed that California could produce stunning results with Italian varieties, similar to the new world successes accomplished with the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. His feeling was that if done correctly, the new world can rival if not surpass Italy’s most prestigious red wines. At Petroni Vineyards, we strive to accomplish that obsession everyday!
