Three Bottle Club
MIX
For the September Wine Club release, we are excited to share an extremely special three bottle vertical. Each wine in the vertical is made from the same grape varietal and from the same vineyard, but harvested in three consecutive years. Tasting them side-by-side enables you to experience the evolution of a specific wine over time, as well as better understand the effects of other influences such as weather, technique, and blending. It is rare to be able to offer a three-vintage vertical and we are very excited to share it with you.
IN YOUR SHIPMENT
2014 Petite Sirah
Sierra Foothills
93% Petite Sirah, 5% Zinfandel, 2% Mourvèdre
This wine has rich aromas of black plum, blackberry, and black licorice. It lingers on the palate with a floral note and a hint of toasted oak. The finish is smooth and balanced.
The oldest of the three vintages, the 2014 has a more mature fruit flavor. This wine has aged gracefully and now fully expresses its depth and complexity.
2015 Petite Sirah
Sierra Foothills
85% Petite Sirah, 15% Syrah
Full-bodied with moderate tannins and rich, layered flavors of blackberry and mocha.
In-between the two other vintages, the 2015 Petite Sirah has a balanced representation of fruit and tannin.
2016 Petite Sirah
Sierra Foothills
95.5% Petite Sirah, 3% Zinfandel, 1% Grenache, 0.5% Petite Verdot
Full-bodied with firm structure, flavors of black currant and tobacco, and a long succulent finish.
The youngest of the three vintages, the 2016 has robust fruit, but also a strong presence of tanning.
ABOUT VERTICAL TASTINGS
Vertical tastings are a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends while learning something new about wine.
Vertical wines are typically served in chronological order, from youngest to oldest. By tasting in chronological order, the progression allows the wine-taster’s palate to build throughout the tasting.
Add a twist to the vertical tasting and do it “blind.” Conceal the bottles by wrapping in foil or placing in brown bags. The objective could be to determine which wine is the younger and which is the older of the three.
Whether you are a connoisseur or a novice, there is always something new to discover about wine. We here at Nevada City winery are excited about this vertical and thrilled to be able to share it with our members.
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS
Petite Sirah food pairings should be as big and bold as the wine. Stick with red meats, stews, short ribs, hamburgers and barbecue of all types. It also pairs well with ethnic foods with lots of spices and herbs.
