Petroni Vineyards Sonoma Valley

Reviewed by the WINE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINE

2005 Petroni Chardonnay, Napa Valley
“91 POINTS - Very dry and a little earthy, with a dusty hay or dried straw quality to the tangerine, sweet lime, lychee, peaches and cream flavors. An interesting, crisp Chard with plenty of nuanced complexity.”

2002 Poggio Alla Pietra Brunello di Sonoma,
Estate Bottled 90 POINTS:
"Dark, bright red. Slightly high-toned aromas of cherry, blueberry pie and nutty oak. Juicy and intense, with very Italian flavors of dried cherry and red berries. Penetrating and uncompromisingly dry Sangiovese with excellent fruit. Finishes spicy and firm, with dusty tannins reaching the front teeth."

Poggio Alla Pietra Brunello di Sonoma, Estate Bottled
"The 2002 Poggio Alla Pietra could easily pass as Brunello Di Montalcino albeit one that is much riper with fruit and higher in alcohol than would be found in Tuscany obvious French oak...Outstanding!" 2002

Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate Bottled
"Petroni 2002 Cabernet has a ripe, smooth, lush bouquet of black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry with light oak and smoke. Ripe flavors laced with very smooth tannins all carry to the end of its broad long finish. Excellent balance, structure, and integration. Outstanding!"

2004 Syrah, Estate Bottled, Sonoma Valley
"The 2000 Poggio alla Pietra opens with nicely sweet aromas of red and black cherry, vanilla, sweet tar and dusty tannins finishes long and broad... Well balanced, integrated and structured. Outstanding!"
