Vineyard and Winery Management Magazine’s 2009 Grand Harvest Wine Competition - GOLD MEDAL
PETRONI SYRAH WINS GOLD MEDAL There were over 1600 entries from North America, Europe, South America and the Pacific Rim, and only 142 Gold medals awarded in the Vineyard and Winery Management Magazine’s 2009 Grand Harvest Wine Competition.  Petroni Vineyards, of Sonoma Valley, is pleased to announce a 90 point Gold Medal for the 2006 Estate Grown Syrah.  In this very competitive event, the judges, who are selected from a pool of top quality wine professionals, must agree on awarding a medal.  Each panel consisted of three judges within the wine producing, marketing and education fields.  The Petroni  Syrah, harvested in October 2006, is black-purple in color, revealing rich, ripe hillside fruit in both appearance and bouquet.  The aromas of marinated meat, blueberries, and black pepper lead to a flavorful mouthful of raspberries and dark chocolate.

WINE ENTHUSIAST - 92 Points
Rosso di Sonoma
"An absolutely lovely wine, made in the modern, soft style, but with great structural integrity.  The delicious flavors come in waves of currants, wild berries, peppery spices, chocolate-covered mint, licorice and cedary oak influences.  Fully drinkable now due to the finely ground, velvety tannins.

Reviewed by WINE & SPIRITS MAGAZINE 
2005 Petroni Sonoma Valley Syrah 
"91 points Rustic wild cherry fruit brightens with higher tones of strawberry and zinny florals. The style falls somewhere between a Barossa shiraz and an old-vine Sonoma zin. Plump in the middle, blunt in the end, this should lengthen with a year or two of age."

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.”
