Papapietro Perry Winery

On the second day of touring the Dry Creek region of Sonoma County, we visited Papapietro Perry Winery.

Papapietro Perry is located in what can only be described as an industrial park for wineries.  Six small wineries have their production facilities clustered together.  With land at a premium in Dry Creek Valley, this makes sense, and doesn’t detract from the wine.  Each winery has it’s own small tasting room. 
As it was getting late in the day and we’d had quite a bit of wine, we only had time to stop at two of them.  The first was Papapietro Perry which was founded by two friends who started out making wine in their garage.  They primarily produce Pinot Noir and Zinfandel with grapes sourced from a number of growers in the Russian River, Dry Creek, and Anderson Valleys.

 Wines sampled:
2006 Pinot Noir, Elsbree Vineyard, Russian River Valley
2007 Pinot Noir, Leras Family Vineyard, Russian River Valley
2006 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley
2005 Zinfandel, Elsbree Vineyard, Russian River Valley
