Perfecting the old California classics, Robert Biale Vineyards has become a revered standard of heritage vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Napa Valley. From the wineries’ inception, the Biale Founders have cherished the tradition of historic old vines (some dating to the 1880s!) and prize the small quantity of concentrated and intense fruit that they produce. 

It all started in the 1940s when 14-year-old Aldo Biale helped his mother make ends meet by selling to insider Napans–along with eggs and produce–some of the family’s homemade Zinfandel. Over the old “party line” phone system, the code words “a Black Chicken” signified a jug of bootleg wine…and kept nosy neighbors and the authorities from finding out about Aldo’s underground Zinfandel operation!

  Sustainable Vineyard Practices
• 100% Petite Sirah
• Sourced from Rutherford AVA (Napa Valley)
• Hand-harvested
• Aged 17 months in Burgundian oak (30% new)

Aromas of dusty currants, blueberry, quince, violets, figs, molasses, graphite and baked rye. Weighty with a broad mid-palate structure which has layers of ripe, black fruit flavors. Balanced with mouthwatering tannins and a long, lingering finish.
