Third-genertaion Healdsburg grape grower Doug Rafanelli farms two small vineyard blocks on the western benchland of Dry Creek Valley, each named after is children, Rex and Amarica. The Snake Patch vineyard is an outstanding site for growing Petite Sirah, yielding sumptuous well-balanced concentrated wines.
Critical Acclaim: Wine & Spirits Magazine | The tannins of this wine are shades of gentle suede that carry scents of desert herbs, scrub and earthy details. That earthiness takes on mineral intensity as the wine opens with air, the tannins taking a more overt role, vibrating like a cymbal’s clash through the lush fruit. The Wilsons purchase that dynamic fruit from Doug Rafanelli, who farms petite sirah in the western benchlands of Dry Creek Valley. —J.G. (150 cases)
