Description

Guenoc Petite Sirah

Guenoc Valley lies sixty miles north of San Francisco — a breathtaking panorama of oak-strewn grasslands, rolling green hills, craggy outcroppings and perfect volcanic cinder cones, painted with the shimmer of a dozen azure lakes. The 21,349-acre Langtry Estate is one of the largest contiguous private land holdings in California, and among the most beautiful.

Guenoc wines are produced and bottled at Langtry Estate’s state-of-the-art crush pad and winemaking facility. Winemaker Walter Jorge and his experienced winemaking team craft the wines using judicious amounts of oak and minimal intervention. Site-specific farming allows Walter to create wines of great distinction and varietal expression.

OUR VINEYARDS

Guenoc wines are sourced from a blend of estate vineyards and premier growing sites from around California. Soils range from rocky volcanic highlands to mountain valleys lined with gravelly riverbeds. The combination of these unique sites allows us to produce wines that exemplify the diversity found in these distinct regions.

Guenoc California wines embody the independent spirit of famed actress and winery founder, Lillie Langtry, who defied the conventions of her time and forged her own path, becoming a Lake County vintner in 1888. The wines are fresh, vivacious, and distinctly California.

Full-bodied and rich, Guenoc Petite Sirah boasts fruit-forward flavors of blueberry, red raspberry, and blackberry complemented by hints of soft clove, and cinnamon. Its velvety tannins and oak notes round out the palate, adding to the long finish of bright berry fruits and cocoa. Pair this wine with a juicy grilled burger, or spicy Italian sausage.
