Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah 2001
a Petite Sirah from Dry Creek Valley • CA
$60
per bottle
Dry Creek Valley. The Petite Sirah vines at the Teldeschi Home Ranch are some of the oldest on the estate, with one block that was planted before Prohibition. The intensity of the old vine fruit shows in the deep dark color and powerful berry nose. The solidly structured mid-palate is dominated by massive fruit layered over a solid tannic base. The wine was bottle-aged for seven years before release, giving it soft, supple tannins and a smooth and lengthy finish. 13.8%

Teldeschi Vineyards sits on 75 acres in various parts of Dry Creek Valley. Teldeschi Farms grow Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, a little Valdique, some Malvasia, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines range in age from one year to one hundred and ten years. "Three-quarters of them were planted by my dad," says John, "and most of them are Zinfandel. Zinfandel was his favorite. He always thought it would be what it is today."
John's father, Frank Teldeschi, died in 1985. He came to California from Italy in 1929, following in the footsteps of his forebears. Frank's grandfather Michele arrived at the turn of the century from Casabasciana, a Tuscan village northeast of Lucca, where the family raised chestnuts, olives, and hemp.
John is now the family grapegrower, though Caterina continues to own the vineyards. She pays for chemicals and fertilizers; John pays for equipment and labor. Dan is the Winemaker and sells the product of the family's years of toil. So continues the fourth generation of Teldeschi winemaking to date.
