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.

Deep and redwoody from the glass with a deep and spicy core of earthy fruit that has nuanced notes of rubber and coffee hoovering over the black fruit that gains complexity with air revealing notes of tobacco, old cigar, iron, and grilled, bloody meat. The tannins are pretty much resolved though the solid acidity keeps things lively here supporting the lush, dark fruit and giving the wine admirable length with a fine sour plum note on the finale. A classic. 95pts
