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

EOS 2005 RESERVE PETITE SIRAH

Estate Bottled, Paso Robles

Heady aromas of raspberry, blackberry, earth & spice. Luscious, up-front berry flavors lead to a sublime, velvety structure, with a big, rounded mid-palate of chocolate and earth. The finish is dry, with lingering tannin and notes of dark baker's chocolate and rich spices.

Food Pairing Recommendations
Serve with big-flavored foods such as game fowl, gumbo or filet mignon with rich sauces. A classic pairing for our Petite Sirah is Peking Duck.

Alcohol: 14%

Deep floral and crushed berry fruit is very penetrating with integrated oak and lovely black tea and iron/limestone and clay tone. Really lovely nose. Full velvety entry is followed by a bright rich midpalate with massaged tannins. This is mouth filling but not heavy with a fine tea note to the crisp red berry fruit and a touch of forest floor that spreads out on the palate. Great focus and balance to this wine and a nice finish that has a hint of bitterness playing bass to the ripe sweet fruits higher tones. Real reverb to further the analogy. Great cinnamon spiced robioos finale! 93pts

This petite syrah reserve is one of the best petite syrah's I've tried in California at this price point. Very interesting and very to the point.

Deep, ripe dark black fruit aromas with hints of powdered sugar and honey. Palate is quite warm, juicy and a bit savory with good fresh acidity, but well balanced, a bit of oak and nice tannic structure. Hints of cherries, black olive, tar, and a hint of medicine on the finish.

Lots of spicy dark fruit on the nose. Extremely well balanced with a spicy kick.

This wine is concentrated, filled with red and black fruit and has the complexity that many wines in this price range do not. It also offers immediate gratification. The 2004 was deep purple and viscous. Black fruit, smoke and very tame tannins make this easy to quaff. The finish reveals a few layers. Black current, Boysenberry and other black fruits give this wine a long, silky finish.

Light leatheriness on the nose which led to surprisingly bright fruit notes of banana and strawberry. Bitter finish with blueberries and a lot of leathery spice.
