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

Before the glass touches your lips, this wine's dense robe hints at the power Petite Sirah insists on expressing in the Napa Valley. Aromas of blackberry syrup foretell the lush texture, while bitter chocolate, nut brittle and vanilla provide drama. Rich, syrupy berry flavors lend this behometh a touch of grace.

This wine can definitely stand up to a good steak...definitely some berry flavors and chocolate...a really nice wine for a great price (we got ours for $16 a bottle at the winery)
