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

SWS is known more and more as THE place to get great Petite Sirah. This grape is more dark, intense and tannic than its cousin, Syrah. Actually, Syrah is its father, as Petite is a hybrid of Syrah and a second grape Pelrousin. The 'petite' grape produces less juice and more skin, hence can be more tannic. Invented over 120 years ago, it is a rock star known only by the cogniscenti of wine (like our club members). This low alcohol version (13.5) is made for aging and also a good lamb stew or duck confit.
