Robert Biale Vineyards Royal Punishers Petite Sirah Napa Valley 2022 750 ML

Perfecting the old California classics, Robert Biale Vineyards has become a revered standard of heritage Vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Napa Valley. Napa natives, school chums, and winery Founders, Bob Biale and Dave Pramuk, cherish the tradition of historic old vines (some dating to the 1880s!) and prize the small quantity of concentrated and intense fruit that they produce. Diligent farming, expressive terroir, and superb elegance are the winerys hallmarks. Among the winerys portfolio of 20 wines that are crafted by winemaker Tres Goetting, Black Chicken Zinfandel is the flagship and has become a benchmark for the varietal.It all started in the 1940s when 14 year-old Aldo Biale helped his mother to make ends meet by selling to insider Napans along with eggs and produce -some of the familys homemade Zinfandel. Over the old party line phone system, the code words a Black Chicken signified a jug of bootleg wineand kept nosy neighbors and the authorities from finding out about Aldos underground Zinfandel operation!
