2007 Paso Robles Petite Sirah
2007 Paso Robles PETITE SIRAH About the Winery Bonneau Winery is operated by the third generation of Bonneaus with family history dating back to the early 1920s in the Sonoma side of the Los Carneros appellation. The Bonneaus originally came to America from the vineyard lands of Bordeaux, France and began farming a 70 acre parcel of land just south of the town of Sonoma. After growing and providing Chardonnay grapes to several well known wineries in both Sonoma & Napa, the family launched its own label in 2002. Bonneau sources its red varietal grapes from top vineyards in Sonoma, Napa, & Amador counties. Winery operations take place in Kenwood where the wine is fermented & aged in caves sunk deep in the foothills located on the west side of Sonoma Valley. John Bambury is the Director of Winemaking and handles all the winemaking responsibilities. Tasting Notes Our 2007 Bonneau Petite Sirah is a unique (one time only) wine produced from grapes grown in the warm and fertile Paso Robles appellation. After aging over 14 months in French oak barrels, we then bottled to preserve the bright fruit aromas and flavors. It is a classic rendition of the varietal coming from this terroir. The wine shows a deep, dark, purple-ruby hue accompanied by fragrant suggestions of sweet blueberries, dark plums, and violets along with espresso, cedar, cocoa and spices. On the palate, the wine is smooth, juicy, and fully bodied rounded out with great integration of fruit aged in oak. The finish is long and intense. While this wine is ready to drink now, it will age gracefully for several years to come. Composition
