What to Expect

Petite Sirah is one of a group of grapes that took to a new home - in this case California - after moving from the relative obscurity enjoyed at its birthplace - France in this case - where it is called Duriff. While never particularly elegant nor subtle, Petite Sirah can produce large-scaled, intense wines with bright flavors of blue and plummy fruits, rich with earthy tannins.

Winemakers Notes

Great color and depth of fruit with excellent acidity. Will make any full-flavored cut of meat sing!! Recently voted "Best red wine over $15 at the Reno/Tahoe wine Festival!

Not usually a fan of Petit Syrah, but this one was lighter than most. Easy to drink...of course would be perfect with some red meat on the side.

Really delicious. A dead ringer for porterhouse doused in butter on the nose. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Not as inky and thick as PS can be. The bottle disappeared quite quickly.
