Guenoc is made by the Langtry Winery. The winery's namesake, Lillie Langtry, purchased the property sight unseen in 1888. By 1900 Lake County wines were winning awards in international competition, and the region was earning a reputation for producing some of the world's greatest wines. Lillie Langtry sold the property in 1906 and the years of prohibition and vineyard destruction soon followed.

It was a miracle that any vineyard area was left when the property was acquired in 1962. A syrah, petit verdot and white grape vines of mysterious origin were found on the hillside vineyard site after at least half a century of neglect. In 1963, Malulani Investments acquired the 23,000 acre Langtry Estate & Vineyards with a focus of producing top-tier wines from the Guenoc Valley.

Tasting notes

Guenoc Lake County Petite Sirah has intense aromas of red raspberry, licorice and baked blueberries. The wine has a medium body with melt in your mouth tannins and layers of spicy complexity. A refreshing acidity on the palate contributes to an extraordinary long finish which echoes the delicious flavors throughout.
