| Comments |
Pierce's disease resistant winegrape.
This red wine grape is 94% V. vinifera, makes wines with characteristics
of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah and is resistant to Pierce’s
Disease. It is established in large test plots along the Napa River and
commercial scale wines have been made from this plot. This selection
is one of the earliest to break dormancy, and it also blooms and ripens
early. The berries are relatively large and the well-filled clusters are
medium in size. This selection has been repeatedly tested in a UC Davis
greenhouse screen and is highly resistant to Pierce’s Disease.
Technical: This variety was bred by Dr. Andrew Walker and is 50% Petite
Sirah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. |
