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.
Tasting Notes: On the nose, you’ll be enveloped by jammy dark fruit and dried herbs. Blackberry, blueberry, and black pepper leap from the glass and fill the senses. The palate is rich with brandied cherries, raspberry, and soft notes of vanilla. Strikingly smooth tannins and natural acidity leave you wanting more.
