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.

Nice. I didn't think it was as sweet or chocolatey as the tasting notes suggest. What I mostly got was kitchen spices. Overall I would describe it as pretty balanced, and it went nicely with our meal.

Wine Tasting NotesThis wine exhibits great color with a bouquet and flavors of ripe blackberries, plums, chocolate, black pepper, violets and spice. Contra Costa will soon be known as the Mecca for Petite Sirah. This wine is amazing both in aromatics and flavors, not to mention the color, which is jet black.

Very good wine for the price. Lots of fruit in the nose and a touch of pepper.
